Well I haven't time to read all 165 pages (blimey!) but having bought this house at the end of last year I'm now in a position to think about getting a veg plot made and planting up for next year. I just need to wait until the nest of baby birds have all buggered off from the tree I'm taking out to make space. Then I'll build raised beds and fill them, and work out what to plant and when. I'm new to growing veg, it's all very exciting...

my mission next year is to get a decent crop off this fruit tree. Plenty of manure and a good weeding

sowing the beets in clumps certainly works and has no affect on size so mr charles dowding was right

Is the tree your trying to get going a fig or a wallnut? If it's old and not fruiting, dig a trench a foot deep, 3 feet away from the trunk, and dig that around one half of the tree, leave it two years, and do the other side, and watch it go. My aunt had one in her garden, not doing well, we did this to it, and bingo, it was off.

It inspires the tree to make newer younger roots, and aids compaction if its been walked round for years, also gives you the chance to chuck in some blood fish and bone when you back fill.

Save some seeds and plant them next year, you never know what you might get.
