I noticed last year the first signs of lupins – presumably moved over from my neighbour’s. However, there were no flowers…… and the ones I’d sown myself didn’t come to much either.
Sadly, my neighbour’s own patch is seriously depleted this year, but since the fence hasn’t gone up between us, at least she can appreciate the ones my forest garden is hosting. And I’m thrilled that they will be fertilising some strawberry plants for me, as they are nitrogen-fixing.
And looking pretty, of course!

I love your title, Castle Amongst the Strawberries. That’s so clever. Welcome, nitrogen fixer!
The lupins do look rather like castles, don’t they?
They do! Did you spot any garden fairies? ;_)

š I’ll send one right over.

I’ve just planted lupin as a cover crop .. fingers crossed they come to something and do their magic nitrogen fixing
They will be a beautiful cover crop, Julie!
