Hello all, have recently moved house [October 2015] and shock horror there was no veg patch !!"
There is front and back garden dedicated to lawn and flowers and very well kept. Fortunately there is a separate patch behind the detached garage approx., 25 ft sq, gravelled over and an old shed leaning seriously to starboard. Have removed the shed and gravel together with weed suppressant material that covered the enter area. Have dug over the patch and found some well rotted organic horse manure kindly given free locally and incorperated it in. Have also erected a 10 x 6 ft lean to greenhouse against the garage wall. In early November i sowed a load of broad beans [Aquadulce] outside to get under way. Normally these will stop at about 6" or so but due to the warm December they continued to grow an stand about 18" making them vulnerable to wind but they are okay. Have just sown some radish and rocket im the greenhouse, a bit early but no patience.. and some shallots outside. Also planted summer and autumn rasberries, red and black currents and a blackberry. Now just itching to get under way with all the usual veg inside and out cant wait for the main season to start. That's all folkes..
