The veg garden is coming on in spades at the mo....
The photo below is a cool little courgette garden Andy whipped up one morning using an old pallet, 2 bags of dirt, some bamboo and string. To keep the courgettes off the ground and grow them vertically. It's next to the old house so you can't see it from the terrace (he thinks it's ugly but I think it's clever).
Below, he made a little garden in a garden for a tomato plant that was a bit crowded and is stringing it up with bamboo and string. The far 2 right buckets have Jerusalem artichokes. We will paint the buckets. The far garden has herbs and the rock garden has carrots, chillies, salsify, parsnip etc growing from seeds.
The herb garden
Below, tomatoes, rock melon, tomatoes, peas, beans and broad beans all being trained to grow vertically. We also have fennel and celeriac, pumpkin and butternut squash.
Below, leeks, courgettes, more peas, beans and broad beans.
Below, pumpkin plants at the end of one planter are being trained to grow over on to the ground where we are making a little compost area for them so they don't crowd out the garden.
We've been planting extra things around our boarders and are creating 2 flower beds along part of the boarder from seeds which are shooting up loads of little shoots.
