I'd like to take credit for the legs supporting the netting but it wasn't my idea

Thought I'd add a quick update.....
Took advantage of all the leaves and put a mulch on the fruit beds

The garlic planted a few weeks ago has started to appear

I've been throwing some of the spent foliage in the planters, will then fill with a combination of leaves, spent compost, and manure, should hopefully be okay to plant in next year

Lastly, a few pics of the annual and perennial kales/brassica, my asparagus grown from seed, and some rhubarb planted earlier this year

I moved two of the planters to their position for this year.
The idea is to use them for carrots, parsnips, and salsify with FCBs in one around the edges.
Not sure of the three which to grow between the beans?

Are FCBs climbing French beans? Just checking! If so, why don't you grow them on the short ends of the planters? Create an arch over the path between the planters so that you can pick the beans from the path?

That's not a bad idea will see what crap, sorry bits I have scattered around

I did as VC has advised. I added arches over the path. Used small climbing squash up some as well as some for beans.

Quick update...
Really disappointed with this year, partly due to health, partly due to motivation!
I have an op on 23rd so hopefully post that I can feel better and get off my **** a bit more☺
I'm already planning bits for this and next year so I certainly haven't lost the bug!

Chin up Danny, you're talking to someone who has only picked 14 beans in 2022.
Apart from the courgettes, I've had a poor year but, I have a plan for 2023 and, as soon as we have some rain, I'll start preparations. Every year is different, some good some bad. Once you're over your op, it'll be time to think about next year - and, I promise you, its going to be a good one.
