With the wet weather and other tasks, I’ve been occupied lately and not got round to updating but here we go now.
This is a shot from just up from the South West corner showing the basic 5 plots by 3 across E/W plan with the rotation system being in a diagonal line. At the top are 4 slightly fatter N/S plots with the cold frame on one and the compost bins on the end. At the bottom out of sight are the line of raspberry and currant bushes.
Bottom left are Broad Beans, then 3 pumpkins and 2 peppers reusing the space from the Broccoli, then the garlic which has been attacked by rust in the last 3 weeks. Above that are the Swift and Maris Peer potatoes that we had along with the beans for lunch yesterday. At the top are the leeks still holding on from last year!
Next across from the bottom is the big white pole holding up the pea netting, above them the 60 odd onions planted at 2″ spacing, then the rest of the Maris Peer and Charlotte potatoes and out of sight in front of the cold frame is the beetroot bed.
On the far side it is just possible to make out the runner bean, french bean and sweet pea row of sticks and then towards the compost bins are the wigwams for squash and cucumbers.
