After the stacks of boxes reduce and we slowly begin to settle in, we take our first steps in our immediate surroundings.

Under the bright sunshine, Andreas has trimmed vines and olive trees on the house facade. The pruned materials will be used for the permaculture of the berry bushes.

Together, the relocated summer lilac (butterfly bushes) and rosemary were planted.

Heike planted the old zinc tub from Urach times with lettuce seedlings, chives and parsley. Below purely branches from the cuttings were put, on it straw from the former horse stable, then partially rotted manure from the sheep pen and this finally neatly covered with earth.

And Frieda received a Holunder-stem extension for her scratching post made from tree clippings (including live inhabitants such as ants and wood beetles 😉 ).
