Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Done about 10 hours solid work in the garden, mostly just strimming, chipping and cutting back. We're making progress 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Fair play nik looking great there We were inspired by your and others posts on here to get cracking on I am really enjoying seeing this take life and we're treating this as a test run. I think you are right about another greenhouse or maybe a poly tunnel where the makeshift raised bed is for next year. We have a septic tank on the other side of the garden, is it a problem to grow veg near it? I think Rhubarb under the trees in the corner will do well plus a compost heap there.

Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Think we made the same mistake with the beetroot and lettuce but they're still growing so it's all good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 It's coming at us thick and fast now, can't believe what we're getting out of the greenhouse already, this was just today and yesterday minus a cucumber and courgette 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 wow that looks bloody great How are you tomatoes coming on now? You will have to share your secrets We've still only got a few little ones showing at the moment, we're getting a few peas and the beans are growing well, I don't know what we're going to do with all these cucumbers there's another 5 ready to pick and the courgettes are running riot as well. I think next year we will only need one of each plant and use the space for something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
