All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

My sidegarden. It is primarily planted with Spider Plants, because the Njala loves to eat them, and then they are less inclined to eat things that I am trying to grow.

Oh how beautiful! Very jealous of your garden and your njala. My great grandfather used to say offerings for the white tail to keep them out of his small vegetable garden. He would put deer corn and apple peelings closer to the woods and they would mostly munch on that and leave.

Nice. I had a similar, yet nowhere near as nicely laid out, idea for my new place. Either side of the garden is set for mostly wild garden & wild friendly plants. There's lots of naturally occuring wild mustard, hawksbeard etc, and I planted some bluebells, wild garlic, heather, nasturtium etc.

The middle walk of the garden is all raised beds leading to a small grow house. Fingers crossed it develops as nicely
