    We moved house last year and we have a massive garden, previously we had not had a garden as we were renting. I have posted a couple of pictures of my garden although they are both a few months old now, I will get on and take some up to date pictures.

    We have 3 raised veggie patches which are 4.8m long and 1.2m wide which makes them a bit easier to manage as I can walk in between them, also my other half can use his lawnmower in-between them, we also have a 8ft x 10ft greenhouse

    We have just had to ditch our cabbages due to butterflies / caterpillars, but know better for next year and will net them.
