In May I wrote this post which included some photo’s of what we’re growing where.  Much of it looks bare compared to how it looks now so I thought I’d add some up to date photo’s so you can see just how much it’s all changed in a couple of months.   Some plants are thriving, a few have been eating by slugs and some lettuce had gone to seed last week and so was pulled up and new seeds sown.  Some tomato plants look healthier than others, one courgette plant in particular looks like it’s doing wonderfully well and every day brings new changes in the garden. 

 

I was doing a few jobs in the garden on Sunday when I noticed the lid to the dustbin above sitting unused and unloved.  And then it came to me that I could use it for growing radishes!  The seeds were sown on Sunday and look at them today, only five days later…

And here, drying out on the cage above one of the raised beds is our first harvest of garlic which were planted in a 12″ pot in December…

So far, so good I think.   Hopefully we’ll be able to get a watering system in place for everything this weekend, as well as continuing the refurbishment of the wendy house in the corner of the garden which the younger children (and possibly the neighbours to one side of us much to their dismay I’d imagine) believe is to house some goats.
