It's been a while since I posted but now that things are beginning to move I thought I'd update my blog.
Since last blod update, I have taken over the running of two walled gardens - one in pristine condition and the other we will call a long term project. The addition of these two sites means that I will hopefully be able to not only increase the veg I grow but also that I will be able to grow slightly more tender crops.

So I hired a mini digger and laid the pipes, connected everything up and Voila - water on tap
So now instead of anywhere between ...
