Looking fab Danny you should be very pleased and proud of yourself. What is the grams you have over the strawberries? Looks like a plastic pipe is it a special kit ?

The cage over the strawberries is made up of years old blowaway stagings and chicken wire bound together with cable ties.

RE: The Shire..... - Broadway - 16-07-2020
Hello Folks
I appreciate we are only ½ way through the year but I wondered if people could review my plans for next year with a view of pointing out any glaring errors! In essence these will all be new beds.
I appreciate not everyone likes the raised bed approach but that’s what I’m going with, the beds are mainly pallet collars. These are fairly small but I believe this will make it more manageable for me.
As you will see I plan to plant leeks and parsnips after the potatoes but have also earmarked spare beds in case there is a timing issue. I have also indicated some other follow-on crops, hope I’ve got these right?
You will also notice a lack of salad items, these will be mainly grown at home but I will fit some in at the plot as well.
The plot does have a greenhouse however the glass is removed at the moment, I don’t really want to fit it myself as I’m on warfarin therefore a bit paranoid about getting cut, I will try and rope a mate in.
Lastly there is room to grow more therefore I’ll also be looking at additional fruit crops.
Many thanks inadvance for any advice you may have?

So organized, Danny! You know I'm no expert, but I was advised to sow my parsnips pretty early, so don't know that they'd work after potatoes. But they do grow slowly, so you could grow something fast in with them.
