This is making me intensely happy at the moment. I've longed for a proper space to make a vegetable garden in, and now I have one AND it's growing well. In fact, the photo below is the same space just two months ago.
I have potatoes, basil, sweetcorn, rhubarb, courgettes, pumpkins, leeks, carrots, dwarf green bean, sugarsnap peas, capsicums, sunflowers and herbs. I have one bed planted in a compost crop of mustard (amazing how fast that stuff grows!) and I have a big pile of horse manure ageing away to be dug in in autumn. The earthy smell, the joy of watching something grow - why don't people garden more?
it's looking great! Isn't it brilliant to go into the garden and pick stuff for dinner? I'm definitely hooked.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm just itching to get a good garden going once we move! My efforts in pots are not quite the same as your magnificent spread...
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic! I sooo know what your saying! Everyone should have a little vegie patch :)
ReplyDeleteOooohh!! Your garden looks lovely. So much space. i'm very jealous!
ReplyDelete:-)
Jealous, jealous, jealous! Master F just planted carrots in a pot - hmm - wrong time of year, will probably bolt, but they came up in two days!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. Of course I didn't photograph the bit that I've yet to dig over ;)
ReplyDeleteI used to garden in pots because that was what I had but gardening in a garden is sooo much more satisfying, just much more elbow grease required!
