Even with Apolline's help the Cottontails garden is on the verge of becoming a bit of a jungle at the moment so I am too ashamed to capture it on camera. But here are a couple of pics from earlier in the summer, when it all looked pretty neat.
So, why am I so behind? Well there is some Big News afoot at Cottontails - we are soon to be on the move to a small farm!
As it is we have already taken over taking care of the land and veggie gardens, so instead of one small patch to maintain, I find myself with rather more...
For example, the strawberry patch:
And the, erm, wilderness patch:
And believe me there is much more. I am starting to feel quite alarmed at the prospect of harvest and am going to need a whole team of Apollines I think.
We won't be moving in for a few months so the whole thing is going to happen pretty gradually, but I will start posting about the farm over the coming weeks to introduce you to Cottontails new home to be.

My, your new gardens are vast! Great post Charlotte, and I am so excited to see more pictures and glimpses over the next few months!
I can't wait to see this develop on the Blog.
Don't panic at the vastness, just concentrate on the little bit at a time that you are working on.
A farm is a bit like the Forth Bridge, just when you get to the end of the tidying jobs you look behind you and see that it's time to start all over again.
