Well I'm just a bit exhausted! In the last week I've totally filled all places in the EL veggie patch (get it - shaped like an E then an L
) we now have 3 corguettes, 2 chillis, 2 cucumbers, 14 tomatoes, 1 cherry tomato, various lettuces, carrots (well about 6 of them
), radishes, peas, snow peas, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, 100
onions, shallots, dead garlic (have given up all hope - accidentally dug one up and it was rotten
), strawberries and raspberries. Sorry not a very good pic in the harsh late afternoon light.
This week DH rotovated a further 2.5 x 10 metre bit on the next terrace up and today I started prepping it - the back is going to be a pumpkin patch (2 large unknown variety, 4 small unknown (Aussie variety I got from organic farmer and kept seeds) and as many butternut as I can fit. I got the 2 big ones in up the back - I thought I read do an 18 inch hill so made it big t (not 18 but pretty big) then read somewhere else 3 inches
The front section is 2 beds a metre wide each and 4 m long with a path (OK it is a trench - didn't mean to do it that deep but after I'd made my last paths I'd read you should put the soil from the paths you make onto the beds - I perhaps overdid it. Louis commented it looks like WW2
Plan to cardboard the bottom of the path for weeds then probably just put some straw for the moment and get something on the sides to hold back the soil and in effect make raised beds! Plan to have lots of basil and beans in this section.
