Oak Hill Cottage Garden - May 2019
I'm making great progress with Oak Hill Cottage Garden, both inside and out. This is what the cottage garden looks like in May!
I have lived in the little village Kalvsvik in southern Sweden since January 2004, and I can't remember how many times I have passed by this lovely little cottage on my way home. Now and then, the thought of taking it on has crossed my mind. The lot has honestly not been too inspiring though, except for a few months in spring and summer when the garden is covered in windflowers.

I wanted to get a good start here in the garden, so I decided to start growing leafy greens for an early harvest. Learn more here:
Another way to get an early harvest is to keep a batch of pea shoots available indoors. Pea shoots are amazing and so easy to grow in any troughs or containers you might have around. I'm using regular yellow peas from the supermarket here:
