The citrus mound


This would have to be my most favourite part of the garden at the moment. Young oranges, grapefruits, a lemon and a loquat are planted as a copse with an understory planting of broad beans, calendula, nasturtiums, rhubarb, and edible self-planted floras such as mallow and chickweed. The photograph doesn't capture the incredible display of orange calendula flowers, that from the house, we look out onto, and which bring us unmeasurable delight.
