I would post pics, but I forgot to take the camera out with me… And we are [...]
So I managed to get off work early today and got the frost damage sorted. It wasn’t as bad as I first thought – just had to get rid of the tomatoes.
I moved the boxes around so they are up against the north-facing end of the garden – in front of the herb garden and [...]
Silly little diagram of the garden how it is at the moment. Not to scale
Brown = vege beds
Yellow-brown = brick bed. currently with borage and weeds….
Red = compost bin
Blue = shed

This year I am going to try growing my seeds in pots like these (after I run out of my stash of plastic post saved from this year!) http://www.geocities.com/newspaperpots/
Also, I am going to try the native american practice of growing corn, squash and beans together. The [...]
