    so been scarce on here this last few weeks. firstly due to being swamped at work and then making the most of the last of the good weather up the plot ..... so i have taken down the shed (what was left of it) and made this all from scrap that i have scavenged sunset and shed 030.jpg

    sunset and shed 035.jpg

    sunset and shed 037.jpg
    which has cleared a nice big area for me to make a new strawberry bed
    for now i have covered the bare ground with carpet just to keep down the weeds
    sunset and shed 039.jpg

    most of this end has been covered after the crops failed lol my onions were a disaster, carrots are still going ok ....... my winter onions seems to be doing ok .... i plan on putting broad beans in here .....
    also i have put a support under the path that belongs to next door they kept land sliding of the slabs into my plot, i am going to edge the plot with fruit bushes to act as a natural wind barrier, and this will also stop them just wandering around my plot

    sunset and shed 040.jpg

    and here you can see me beans are still alive these are actually better then most of the others on the site

    leeks are ok, sweetcorn never really recovered from earlier in the year, the potatoes are doing good and the gabages swedes and turnips are hiding under the nets ... the courgettes arent in the picture but these have done very well
