Today I needed to clear the raised bed nearest the conservatory, since it will only get trampled on in the next few days. Got a very modest harvest of 140g Paris Market carrots, two cavalo nero tops, a dozen or so very spindly spring onions, and a big bunch of flat leaf parsley (the only thing I've had a glut of, apart from oregano - they both grow like weeds in this soil!).
The spring onions were hard to get out of the ground without breaking them - I soon discovered they had very vigorous root systems despite the feeble top growth. I wonder if they struggled to find water in the summer and never really recovered?

How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!
