More New Raised Beds

Had a day off on Thursday (very rare!) and went to local garden centre for full english breakfast then got 2 more raised beds, also got 2 elephant garlic and some saffron crocuses for the front garden.  Spent a few hours down on plot 119, Simon put the raised beds together to complete the left hand side, just 4 more to get for the right hand side and that will be them completed.  Some critter has been digging up my spring green seeds but the animal has left my January King cabbages alone.  For now!



Went to our local sawmill after to get some free bark which they advertise, was going to do the path to match the other side, but unfortunately the bark was far too coarse for what we needed it for.  Never mind, we bought some wood and stone chippings anyway to do our barbeque area at home so not a wasted journey.

Other things doing well on plot 119 are..... one cauliflower which actually looks like a cauliflower!  The brussel sprouts are starting to form, and the last of the kohl rabi are ready for pulling.  The celery seems to be taking forever to get big though, at this rate the first frosts will get them before we eat any!  Also cleared the area between the greenhouse and the polytunnel and the old compost area, the plan next year is to get rid of the old polytunnel as it is falling apart and put a new smaller one up where the old compost area used to be, will open up a lot more space for digging over, with that extra space we should be in a position to possibly let the other plot go......
