You may recall my previous post showing a completely barren, empty veggie patch. This is how it looks today. We have spent many hours out here, the work is back breaking at times but oh so satisfying. We were nervous when digging the first out door potatoes. We tried growing some in the hot house in dustbins but they didn't work. They didn't grow a single potato, not even a chip! We were relieved when we dug up these, especially as there are quite a few rows of them!
This is the start of our orchard / fruit garden. Using the bank outside the hot house seems a good use of an otherwise useless space. It gets the sun all day, so fingers crossed for good results. Hubs and I have been married 28 years on 31st August so the fruit trees and bushes are our present to each other (how romantic) Who needs candlelit dinners and flowers and I can't eat chocolates anyway. We have Plum, apple and pear trees. Blackcurrant, gooseberry, raspberry and rhubarb, so lots of planting tomorrow.
