Garden Plans > 2022: Veg Patch

About this Garden Plan

Back garden veg patch. Onions and spring onions are multisown. Carrots and parsnips are surrounded by a mesh fence in an attempt to resist carrot fly without the inconvenience of having to lift the edges of a tunnel for weeding and harvesting.

Plan Notes

Winter jobs: Add another course of boards to veg patch. Pull out all staples at bottom edge of fruit cage and tuck chicken wire between boards and posts. Add another course of boards? Reshape bed by willow fence so that's it's shorter and wider. Remove fruit bushes. Re-position some of the astilbes and bergenia. Transplant bear's breeches and skimmia. (Maybe move the blackcurrants there too?) Demolish small shed. Finish fencing corner bed with willow screens. Clean greenhouse. Put up willow screens in front of compost bins and place pots in front of it.
