A New Month, A New Start

JULY IN THE VEG PATCH

A few pics to show the state of the veg patch at the end of June. The amount of rain and lack of sun have had quite an impact, but things will still grow.

Potatoes, cabbages and lettuce. Look very closely

 you'll see a wispy row of carrots too. My third 

attempt as the previous two rows were eaten as 

soon as they put their heads above the soil.

Raspberries

Fruit! Hooray! Planted in the back bed and basically left to their own devices apart from an occasional weed. I'll need to read up on pruning though. Plus i suspect they'll need sturdy supports in the coming years...probably should have put those in first?!

A sorry looking row of onions, donated by my neighbour Sue. I've planted broad beans there, and carrots, but am beginning to suspect that there's a veg-patch soil monster that just loiters there waiting for my next donation to it's dinner...
