Thought I was due an update of sorts.
Things still growing in the plot are chard, parsnips(I think), leeks(slowly), a fast weeds
Weeded and planted up the asparagus bed today. These were sown from seed earlier in the year so a bit of time to go!!
Strawberry bed...These are 2 years old so will be ditched this year(fruit was crap this year), I have 25 potted runners to go into a couple of new beds. This bed is going to be used for the Nine Star Broccoli and Taunton Deane Kale, I hope this is enough space!
The last "big bed" currently has leeks in, when this is eventually emptied I will also plant it with something perennial. That way the 3 beds at the front of the plot will all be dedicated to perennial veg.
The GH frame was used for beans this year and will be in subsequest years. The covered area to the left will be used for trailing squashes and the area in front courgettes (as it was this year).
The next picture shows the new pallet collars I'm using as small raised beds, 12 so far, 4 more to go in once the chard is finished. The 12 have been layered with chippings, cardboard, grass cuttings, manure, and leaves, and covered with weed membrane. The green uncovered one has comfrey in, topped up with leaves for now.
The last couple are general pictures, I intend to use the GH frame as a fruit cage.
