Big changes afoot this year in the garden, 3 new beds added, the one nearest the front on the photo which is going to have some grit dug into it and be a dedicated kitchen and medicinal herb bed (for colds and flu before you all comment!), the low bed at the back of the garden in front of the new big greenhouse is for squash and courgettes so they don't wipe out everything else! And there is a deep trough down the side of the greenhouse that I am going to use for potatoes instead of the tubs.
Dug topsoil into all the beds this weekend to give them a bit more body this year, heard a tip that root veg grow better with a bit of resistance as they have to search further for water, so trying it out!
Planting is still going well, starting on the March seedlings tonight. Have a wide variety of plants now growing on a 2 weeks stagger so hopefully they are all going to mature at different times. Fingers acrossed anyway
