Herring Spawn ~ important reminder ~
πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ Reminder to gardeners not to collect sea w**d for their gardens at this time of year as herring eggs may be attached.

🐟 Not only can herring eggs survive out of water, but reports say they may actually thrive, so care also needs to be taken when we visit the beach to watch this amazing herring run event.

πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ Please do not walk on the sea w**d, tread with care. Not only are herring eggs present but these areas are huge marine ecosystems.

πŸ• Please tread with care and keep dogs leashed ~ thanks πŸ’•

🌿 Self-Sufficient Backyard Design – A Small Space That Does It All 🌿

This backyard layout shows how smart planning can turn an ordinary space into a productive mini-homestead. Each area works together to grow food, recycle waste, conserve water, and support a sustainable lifestyle.

With vegetable beds near the house, fruit trees along the borders, animals for natural fertilizer, and rainwater collection for irrigation, every part has a purpose. The compost system feeds the soil, bees improve pollination, and chickens help control pests β€” creating a balanced ecosystem.

Even the central gathering area reminds us that a self-sufficient backyard is not only about production, but also about enjoying nature and slowing down.

A well-designed backyard can produce vegetables, fruit, eggs, herbs, and honey β€” all while saving water and reducing waste.

Small space. Smart design. Real sustainability. 🌱

Create Your Own Sunflower Room 🌻

Sunflowers can turn your garden into a golden hideaway in just one season β€” but only if you plan it a little (yes, tossing seeds everywhere doesn’t count πŸ˜…).

1️⃣ Give them space
Leave enough room between plants so air can move. Crowded sunflowers = mildew drama.

2️⃣ Add a tiny pathway
Lay down mulch or straw so you can walk inside without squashing the soil. Future you will be grateful.

3️⃣ Water deep, not daily
A good soak is better than light sprinkles every day. Strong roots grow where the water reaches.

4️⃣ Mix your varieties
Use tall types for the β€œwalls” and shorter ones inside for that full, cozy look.

Plan it like a mini garden project, not random planting β€” and you’ll have a sunny little retreat that feels straight out of a storybook. 🌞
