poxon 5,909 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Started growing a bit again didn’t grow nothing last year as our little veg plot was flattened as we changed the garden round completely this year we decided to do a little pallet collar garden we got 10 to grow in. already got a few bits in we’re doing spuds in buckets and tomatoes the rest in the pallet collars we’re doing it no dig but trying to be savy with it the minute something is harvested something goes back in making a big push to get my kids involved in it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have the kids heavily involved. Only just learning with the veg side really, done it a few times before but now wanting to get it right with succession planting and as you say once a spot is emptied something goes straight in etc to maximise productivity. Added couple beds this year and by the end of this year will have the polytunnel sorted too. I reckon it will take a few years to really get going. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryaldinhio 5,132 Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 R lass is away so I'm working from home this week. My little lad, Flynn, said to me can I bake some bread, I know how to do it. Yeah OK mate crack on. He got the ingredients out, the scales etc, read the recipe and made some bread. I only helped with the oven (and obviously the pots!). Thats all down to home education. Bet there ain't many 9yr old lads who can bake a loaf of bread with little assistance. It's a right loaf aswell!!! 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
