A creative use of space in the front yard here in Bunschoten! Saturday was another great day for a cycle trip to visit a friend! In gear 4 to get there but in gear 6 going home. Cycling to Bunschoten from Baarn is just like a vacation on Texel. Wind in your face, a harbour where there is a fish stall and market on Saturday's!

Today was a cloudy but dry day. Time to visit Buitenzorg and check out the Fruit triangle. The grass is growing, the currant bushes have fruit and it looks like all the trees that have been planted have settled in and are growing! Lots of green foliage!

There has been a lot of sweat, muscles and work happening at Buitenzorg the last few weeks to remove the Black Berry bushes, Stinging Nettle and other weeds. A good thick layer of leaf mulch covers the ground and a lot of sun light and warm weather lately creates the perfect growing conditions for weeds. Black berries are delicious! Have picked them myself, made jam and crumbles with custard. The plant has the growing power to cover a lot of ground! But "A weed is a plant in the wrong place" so they just had to go!
