A couple of pics of the back garden
« on: May 28, 2007, 11:03:44 »
This is what I started with, in January after some particularly high wind. pic 1.



This is what I had about a month ago. Pic 2

Don't think I've done too bad for a complete novice.  :)

What a transformation, sure you'll get loads of vegies & really enjoy them.  Hope this weather hasn't done any damage.  :)

What a mess, Dave. When are you going to make a start, pal?

Unfortunately some of the potato haulms snapped in the wind yesterday!

But not downhearted, just gonna keep looking after my little plot and learn......

Hehe Thanks Ken

After shifting almost a ton of rockery rock I was ready to give up, but after the harvesting of my first radish, (see below) its now become an obsession!

Can't wait for the first carrots, onions, runners, garlic, beetroot, leeks, spring onions, parsnips, potatoes & peas. (Am already munching on fresh corriander, little gem & lollo rosso)

You do realise I hope Dave, that growing your own becomes an obsession! Just wait until you get a basket full of your own stuff. Nothing like it. Nice one.
