The front garden, on its first summer since I dug up the weedy lawn:
I am very pleased with how it's turned up. Even now when it's mostly brown it still looks like a tapestry of colours and textures - so much more interesting than just boring green(ish) grass.
The back, also looking much neater every year:
That border on the right is still work in progress...
Strawberries in a bed of bark mulch (Mara des Bois, planted this year and I've already eaten a handful)
And finally a closer look at the raised beds, with the automatic irrigation system I've just installed: the yellow hose pipes leading off the water butt, attached to soaker hoses, and a timer; the idea is to fill the butt once in a while and let the timer do the rest.
