Tiny Gardens can actually be HUGE !!

Ruth and I don't have a garden of our own at the moment, so that situation combined with the lockdown effect has meant I've had loads of time for Perth Community Farm - a post about that brilliant project coming up next. There is, however, a wee kind of courtyard space at the back of our flat, and I've made a tiny garden there. It's actually been really useful and interesting, and it's made me think about how much we could accomplish with all the other tiny and larger scraps of untended ground in and around town.
OUR TINY GARDEN: tatties, mint, yarrow, sorrel, lemon balm, marjoram, thyme and my comfrey nursery (on from which I've sold plants). Also the start of our salad garden at the back and notice clover in the foreground. I've got several clover experiments on the go, I think it's got huge potential as a nitrogen-fixing-bee-friendly ground cover.
