14th & 15th September 2013
A lovely surprise when we returned from our lovely Devon holiday, my dad had been up and done loads of digging for us - the whole top end of the middle bed : )
BEFORE
AFTER
Delicious sweet apples
View from the shed, taking a break, enjoying an apple and sheltering from the rain.
I have re sized the veg beds due to the final shed placement and with the beds at 4' wide I have to stretch to reach the middle.
The beds are now 3' wide with 1.5' paths in between. Four beds fit perfectly now for a 4 bed rotation system.
The peas and mangetout are growing, sunflowers are taller not yet flowered though. The spring cabbage I think have being eaten so we have brought some plants to start us off, spring cabbage, purple sprouting broccoli and Pak Choi. Hopefully will have more success with growing from seed next year! I have successfully grown purple sprouting broccoli before in the garden.

Tasty harvest....
Unfortunately so did the slugs......with the brassica's.
On a sunnier note the first sunflower is opening in the autumn sunshine, my favourite flower.
