Gardening on a bank holiday
Although we had intended to go for a walk on Bank Holiday Monday, we ended up slumming around in the garden all day. Jacqueline was planting dahlias, I was planting out new salad crops and sowing more beans.
Here are a couple of pictures taken in the evening, with the sun on the houses opposite
And of the veg plot. I’m trying Square Foot Gardening this year, and it makes the veg plot look much more organised. The big area of bare soil is set aside for my courgettes and squashes.
A very relaxing way to spend a day.
SFG looks interesting although Mel’s humour page left a lot to be desired! What size garden do you have for SFG? Have you simply marked out a patch in one of your veggie patches or started a new bed somewhere?
BTW, nice not to have to stare at your underpants now when I check your blog!
I’ve just extended our veg patch to be approx 7ft x 10 ft (2m x 3.5m), and that gives me around 70 1ft^2 squares. So far, I’ve only filled less than half of these squares, and it gives a much better sense of order to the veg patch than my previous method of planting stuff where there was a bare patch of soil.
I agree about Mel’s humour. The book is a lot more practical than the website.
