Veg Patch taking shape


Veg Patch taking shape

I don't have much room for a veg patch in such a small garden but was determined to grow some veg.My new patch is less than half the size of the one in my previous garden but, it's better than nothing.I made the frame for a raised bed for the patch today(15 FT x 6 FT ) You'll probably wonder why the posts are sticking up above it.They are the posts which are sunk into the ground to support the frame but I decided to leave them long so I can use them as a framework for hanging netting/mesh over to save building a separate frame as I had in my last garden.
Just got to buy one more post tomorrow and finish it off, then, dig it all out. So, a little late for this year, but I'll probably grow a few roots in it and I have my new greenhouse coming Friday where I shall grow my tomatoes and Cucumbers. Again, a little late but, hopefully they'll produce a decent crop.I've sown/grown far too many Tomato plants again this year....as always!!

Its looking great it may be smaller Paul but you be suprised what you could fit in that with your new green house coming cant wait to see that.
On a garden program a while ago a lady grew in 1 square yard all her veg for the year. Having the green house will help as you can grow consecative plants say six weeks on to replace in your veg patch if you need more. You can grow in bags or pots cabbage ,runner beans.

Hopefully it'll be ready to grow some things in this year Maria, if not, at least ready to put some onions in in Autumn.
