Gardening in France

Bonjour,

In my opinion, there is nothing more satisfying than to plant out your very own herb and vegie garden.

I had been looking forward to putting that at the top of our list upon arrival in France, but due to other immediate issues, was forced to delay the timing of the planting.



Last week, I managed to make a start and have planted out both vegies and herbs into the small area at the rear of the house.

The broken down barn used to house pigs once upon a time and I am using the original pig troughs for the plants. I removed some of the soil and then added in some potting mix so we shall see how it all goes.


I have planted out lettuce, cauliflower, parsley, chives, chillis and capsicums.

Flowers have also been planted into the many pots that were left behind. The house is starting look more french.


As we have been working madly around the house and garden, we haven't yet ventured very far.



We did manage to go to the Boussac markets and brocante.











We also took a little drive to a nearby place called Gargilesse - absolutely beautiful.

It reminded us we need to get out and about more.






Å bientôt

Wendy
