Photo diary - my veggie plot


Just thought some of you might like to see what I am growing in the two raised veggie plots I have at the end of my garden, not much going on at the moment, in this one I have squashes (under the bells) and strawberries. I have also planted some onion sets and runner beans.

plot 1



Plot two has radishes under the bells and I have planted a lot of seeds out

plot 2



photo of the two plots, as you can see from this photo where I have placed a marker tab is where I have planted some seeds, lets hope they all come up



I will keep this updated with photos as the seeds germinate and grow, I hope you will all enjoy the progress pictures

Re: Photo diary - my veggie plot


lol I did have one massive plot but found that it was a bit daft as I couldn't reach the centre without actually getting onto the plot and that was very messy, So we changed it to two plots which are better, they are not that big, I think about 8 foot by about 4 foot. But I do grow a lot of veg in there also a lot of mini veg

Re: Photo diary - my veggie plot


You're brave with your beans and squash already in! I'm too wary of late frost.
Looking good though!

Re: Photo diary - my veggie plot


DM I have never grown rhubarb, although I would like to, my two veggie plots I think are a little too small for it, however once we get the fencing done next year I am going to try them in a couple of my new borders

Re: Photo diary - my veggie plot


Loved seeing the pictures; looking forward to the updates as the season progresses!! My entire back yard is only 30 X 30 feet and a lot of that space is taken up by stuff thats already in there, shrubs, roses, etc., so actual garnening space is small...would LOVE to have as much room as you do!
