Righty, it's been a while (sorry, I've been busy). I thought I'd post a little update on the garden. It's been just over 3 years since I moved in and while there's been a lot of progress, it still feels like an uphill battle. This year I made good use of the 2 greenhouses, started 2 spud patches and did my best to keep on top of things. Unfortunately work seems to have thwarted my best intentions and I've not achieved anywhere near as much as I'd have liked.
The bigger of the two greenhouses produced an impressive crop of tomatoes and I even got to try growing cucamelons for the first time and discovered they're very happy scrambling up a small piece of trellice in the corner - they're very much on the list to grow again next year.
The onions were a disaster, far too many slugs. Likewise, the radishes and beetroot came to nothing. Any suggestions for a non toxic method of slug control? I'd hate to do any damage to the two dogs.
In other news, pretty much all the big trees are now on the ground; it's certainly brightened things up a bit and the neighbour is thrilled to have his view of the valley back after so many years of being sat in the shade. The log pile is enormous and is going to be a massive job to process it all into firewood.
I'm very much looking forward to next year but I suspect there'll be plenty to do over the winter too.
