Hi all.
Joining from not so sunny Sunderland. I tried a 4ft square garden last year and successfully grew tomatoes and peas on it. I had a stab at onions, brocolli, carrots and leeks which were less than successful and some strawberries that were, well, ok. But I am not deterred! My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves so much I am moving up to a no dig raised bed to try and try again!
Below is a pic of the garden and you can see the remains of the 4ft garden in the left of the raised bed.
In the container at the back is garlic I planted in October last year. To the right is a small strawberry patch. Nearest the camera is some potatoes I've planted out, down the left you can see bocking 14 comfrey and some flowers my daughter was given (no idea what they are, but they survived the winter!). Top left is a Rosemary plant that is growing strong. I had purple sage, but it was ravaged by something last year.
The white board at bottom left is where next doors dogs went nuts for the fish blood and bone I had put down. I have some fencing I am going to dig in to help stop future occurrences.
