What a difference a month makes!
« on: June 16, 2008, 21:48 »
Well, a month or so ago I was jumping up and down (figuratively!) on here as I'd just been allocated half a plot - about 10x12m, and it looked like this:



A lot of hard graft later, and not a little help and advice from the volunteer warden, and it looks like this:




I have, as far as I can remember,

Runner beans
Broad beans
Peas (though I think the rabbit's done for them)
Cauliflower
Red cabbage
Green Cabbage
Brussels sprouts
Purple cauliflower
Cavolo nero kale
White sprouting broccoli
8 types of squash
Courgettes
cucumbers
9 types of tomato (only one of each, though!)
Swede
Carrots (3 types)
Spring onions
4 types of radish
Spinach
Mustard spinach
5 types of lettuce
Sweetcorn
Swiss chard
Turnips
Chives
Mexican sour gherkin

...and some stuff just coming up in pots and modules at home, that will be looking for a space soon.

I'm having fun
 :D

Shows what a bit of hard work can do.

Proper transformation.

P.S you have got rather a posh row of sheds.   :lol:  :lol:

Hee hee - thanks - and the 'sheds' belong to the local community gardens, who have some large plots - some rather well tended than others!

Me, I'm still trying to work out where to put my shed / hovel :D

Thank you everybody - it's funny, I expected this to be a good 'hobby', but I really didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I have!  :D
