We reclaimed our former farmhouse potager from years of neglect in 2020 and went no dig in early 2021, with great results. We grow very many varieties of vegetables, fruit and herbs, underpinned by our obsession with compost-making from the never-ending supply of prunings, trimmings and weeds from our land plus our ponies’ endless ‘offerings' in the fields. The weather’s challenges have stimulated our goal to achieve resilience through diversity of planting, timing and species so that we have year-round supplies. The extreme slope of the land (south east exposition) keeps us fit, meanwhile! A facebook page at Snippets From A French Garden documents our labours of love :)
