Can't wait to get my veg plot all organised like that, MM ... but it will have to wait until the house is finished!

Wow LK, What a spread !! and so much hard work gone into it, the Terminator has earned his keep !lol He he would love to be obeyed ;D has started digging the veg patch and planted 3 olianders brought from Spain-but rugby has stopped play,still Rome wernt built in a day! What is your recipe for nettle liquid-want some of that! might even make me grow as well . I have been using horse poo diluted in water for feeding plants. Started some seeds a couple of days ago of tomatos,peppers chillies,beetroot, pumpkin,radish, and peas and beans-sprouting some spuds as well-so living in hope, as gardening here will be a lot different to Spain.

Hi Eryri - the Term belongs to me and LK has Mr LK..... Don't worry it's hard enough trying to remember who is who on a forum, let alone their other halves! Welcome by the way (where are you? Cos oleanders are not too happy outside here, although I do have a couple of big ones in pots I leave out, but they end up with very frosted leaves so I have to prune them back. But they survive minus 8 though don't necessarily flower a lot if it has been really cold).

Managed to take some photos of the veggie plot yesterday although I'm not sure I can show them having seen these well kept plots above

Hens make great gardeners Here are a couple of pics taken yesterday.... The first shows most of the 'vegetable patch' which I fenced into hen paddocks so they can clean up after the crop in partic paddock is over. They've done a fantastic job - I've not done any weeding at all!

That's a great sized veg plot, ali ...... suppose I had better charge up the battery on my camera and get some pics taken ..... although mine still resembles a bit of a building site!!!
