Buongiorno beautiful garden enthusiasts! Here are some snaps of my glacially-slow, deeply rewarding clearing of a neighbour's big, terraced garden...
Now I've done a lot of the major bramble-cutting-back labouring, I'm immersed in details, edges and ongoing tweaking...
It's truly a divine pleasure to be so rewarded by wee bits of food here and there - wild greens reined in, asparagus popping up where it now has space to flourish, soon-to-be-picked flowers and leaves for teas.
The form of the garden is taking shape, with certain corners looking very special and beautiful already.
I adore feeling so grounded and symbiotic with the big, sprawling space.
And eating even small handfuls of freshly-cropped plants is potent #naturalmedicine!
I've put quite a few seeds into pots and old suitcases, already - using rich leaf litter from the wilder parts of abandoned woodland nearby as potting compost: yum!
Now I can sit back a little, though there's a lot to do still.... But a lot of what I'm setting up is easy to maintain: thick mulching in particular, and just making space for nature to colour in 😍 Almost all the plants I'm putting in are cuttings or taken from other plots of land - very little is bought with fiat currency.
Mmmm - so looking forward to the next phase, as primavera unfolds here in the Campania region!
Blessings on your Sunday - and keep an eye on my blog if you're interested to watch this garden grow: I'll be making a video about it soon 💝

I love this little pathway, the green-yellowish stones make it attractive.
Yes! Thanks for this lovely supportive comment, dear friend! The mossy rocks are tufo, a porous volcanic rock which soaks up water and so has developed this beautiful covering 💝😍 Co-creating with Gaia-Sophia
You're welcome, have a nice day ahead (^_^)
It's looking really good! Great work! 😊
You're doing great. I love all the green and especially those yellowy, moshy stones and the way they flow.
Did you create that pattern? :^)
Thanks dear Vincent! Yes - I created a moon shape 12 yrs ago, when I first worked on the gardens - then just now moved the mossy rocks to make a neater pathway between the beds 😍💚🌳
So beautiful! Giving a new purpose to abandoned land is always interesting!
All the best to your project! Looking forward to watching all the plants growing healthy and happy!
Yes indeed, @traisto ! It is a kind of paradise having 'my own' space to comune deeply and symbiotically - through someone else's neglecting their 'property'! Every day I spend there is a powerful blessing... Plus it gets more and more abundant as time passes and the spring develops 🤩🎨🌈😍🙏 Thank you always for your encouragement!
