Images of Innisfree



















Innisfree from the far corner of the property, by the pond.
The white house in the distance is the current residence.



















The cold frames with re-used sliding doors. An excellent idea,
too bad they are quite heavy


























I call this one, "Leeky Tote"



















Row of raised beds in the vegetable garden




















Cold frame with lid up and....

















....its contents!




















Solarizing an area for the apothecary garden.





















Look at this fabulous outdoor fire place!

























































































Trillium erectum, Liliaceae family. AKA Red trillium or
"Stinking Benjimen"






















Dicentra ssp. Common name: Bleeding heart. A plant
after my own heart



















The said Seed Savers' greenhouse mentioned earlier



























You may know that you can provide
simple homes for birds, bats, and mason bees
to help you with your farming activities.
But have you ever thought of creating a
snake home in your garden? Snakes consume many
pests, such as beetles and slugs. The artfully built
pile of rocks is such a home that Thierry built to
encourage snakes to their otherwise open veg garden
