The NW patch - this is the latest to be brought into action - it was previously disparagingly referred to as the Mojave Desert. It is all in the timing I say. But got to agree with Richard, I'm going to starve, if I really think I am going to live off those peas. Therefore, gone back to an old favourite - zucchini. Hopefully, got the timing right.
The SW patch - salad staples - mostly lettuces and silverbeet (swiss chard) but also have carrots in there (of course!), beetroot, spring onions, celery and a nice volunteer tomato. Not sure that it is possible to survive on salad alone! In the left hand corner is my experimental black tube of patotoes, the plan was for soil to pour over the top as the spuds grew large - that hasn't happened (it is a bit like most of Richard's experiments - the evidence and observations are exactly opposite to the hypotheses), lots of subsidence going on. What is going on there?
The NW Patch - allegedly based on a bit of native american gardening - corn, beans and squash. Though I think people paid a bit more attention to timing. Climbing beans are climbing over the corn. Despite the detractors - welsh engineering is holding up and we will see the pumpkin climb up and into the apple tree, mark my words. However, no way will we see edible pumpkins by Jan.
The NE patch - Tomatoes finally coming on (still not as many as Dr Shevago), eggplant and peppers making good moves. A few cucumbers thrown in too (never had much success with them) - here's hoping.
