The new veggie patch!

[emmy1978]

It's the top of the garden and there's plenty room for expanding later on! The whole of this bit was covered in brambles and we discovered that some well meaning ex tenant had covered it all in black plastic. It looks as if they have then dumped a load of soil on top of the sheeting which is now sewn in to the ground by roots and the grass that has grown over and through it. I've been pulling it up tiny piece by tiny piece which is incredibly annoying but I don't think there's another option!
It's gonna be a long slow winter....

nice. its a good sized space. i am sure you will soon have that turned over and looking lovely. is the shed yours too?

[manicscousers]

but just think, little by little, it'll be ready for planting in spring  ;D

[emmy1978]

Oh yes Sarah, the shed is mine but unusable at the mo as about to fall down and full of wasps nests! I have a sort of outhouse down the other end though.

Slowly does it :), have you thought what will go where? 

Which way does the window face, be useful for seed and seedling raising?

What a lovely space and fabbo project for the winter 8)

Cheers!

Slowly is the only way with two children and a bordering on full time job!! I don't know which way the garden faces, i think the window will be excellent for seedling raising anyway-I'm claiming the space back from the guinea pigs and bikes!!
I am so happy to be on a mission again.  :)

Nice to see you back in fold Emms, I can see the outhouse being full of seedlings, but don't forget to leave room for my Z bed when I visit Bournemouth in May.  ;)     ;D ;D ;D

[emmy1978]

Sorry Kev you'll have to stay in Sarah's shed-I've moved to Sunny Staffordshire!
I do love my outhouse though-come on planting time!! Had to leave so many plants behind.  :'( They are being fostered by friends in B-mouth at the mo.  8)
