    [​IMG] Thought I would share this moment with you all as it's looking so tidy at the moment. You are looking down to the bottom of the patch. Have just planted leeks & brassicas where broad beans were. [​IMG] [​IMG] These G/houses have toms etc in them. [​IMG]

    [​IMG] With the help of children & grandchildren, also we have had it like this for 30 odd years, so it helps. We used to do all the work ourselves & still mainly do but their input is invaluable, & I try to stick to the old saying "one years seeding is 7 yrs weeding". [​IMG]

    what a great garden do you retain a lot of heat from that wall? I would love a walled garden. [​IMG] and your soil looks good to.

    Yes, looks great MF. Lots of hard work I expect but fresh veg out of the garden are so much better than the supermarket aren't they? [​IMG]

    Your veg patch looks just like a tapestry where every stitch has been lovingly sewn......
    What do you do with all your fruits of labour
    I wish I was your next door neighbour!!!!!

    [​IMG] Hi all,
    thank you for your compliments.
    It is planted with love, I think,
    a handful of family to help with the work &
    3 generations of family to consume.
    :D :D :D
    It is hard work but there is nothing like fresh from the garden.
    We are blessed with the most wonderful light loamy soil that has been gardened for hundreds of years here. They were burgage plots many many years ago. [​IMG]
