The Tin Shed

The Tin Shed Take this journey with us as we make our dream a reality...

It all started as a dream to live off the land.... Then we found this piece of property along the Boven Lange Valley outside Wilderness in the Western Cape back in 2016.

I have been awfully quiet this past couple of weeks. A lot has happened in our lives since the beginning of 2023! Our heads are literally spinning.

We bought a farm in the Overberg in Tesselaarsdal. Jip, we did.

And, this beautiful piece of paradise (The Tin Shed), is having new owners that will take things even further than we did!

We loved being creative on this space. We learned a lot! We allowed nature to teach us many things. What to do. And what not to do.

Thank you to everyone who have been following our journey. It was wonderful to share it with you. And hopefully we meant something to somebody out there. 🌱

TUESDAY UPDATE:

Our new carport is up and needed some covering on the ground. We decided to use peach pips, as these will definitely take much longer to decompose than woodchips.

I love the calming effect the colour of the pips create!

The carport is not only a covering for vehicles. It's roof will give extra space to capture water and maybe add an extra solar panel or two (we are totally off the grid). And... now we don't have the scorching morning sun shining on the eastern side of the Shed during Summer anymore. We can feel the difference in temperature inside!

Today was hard labour day, but I'm glad that what is done is DONE! 👏

My beautiful dahlias on this rainy afternoon. 🌸

I'm sure they are as grateful as we are for the rain after the terrible dry and hot season we've had so far.

These two varieties are low growing - only about 60cm tall. This suits me as we often have a nasty wind blowing in our area.

I'm absolutely in love with my Totally Tangerine and Créme de Cognac dahlias!

And there they are!!

This is a lengthy video, so please fast-forward if you want.

This is just to show you how complicated it is to place a VERY HEAVY 4 ton container on its place.

Thanks to the whole team for making things look so easy! I know about all the stress behind the scenes. 😄

TUESDAY UPDATE:

I have been playing around in the garden. I am no landscaper, but at least I also get to create something beautiful. Well it is beautiful to me. And that's what counts. 🌸

And there are lots more!.... 🥕

I had to harvest these to make space for the others to grow bigger.

Carrots are one of the easiest veggies to grow, as far as I'm concerned. 🥕
