A Garden That Keeps Giving | October Perennial Garden Tour

Come round my perennial garden at Muddy Puddles Farm for seed saving, living ground cover, young fruit trees and an autumn harvest shared with the chickens and wildlife. I’m trying companion plants, a rather gnarly squash storage experiment and ways to save the food we bring home. The garden is still developing, and the experiments don’t all work perfectly—but there’s still enough for us. We also take a short look back at the artichoke flowers and bees in summer.
