The productive garden
I ’ve boast the growth of the fruit and veg garden separately , as the images seem to run better that style . But this part of the garden was acquire at the same time as the relief of the garden .
I was luckily enough to be able-bodied to include a Gabriel Ash glasshouse and that made help my vegetable development take off that year .
In fact , I ’d never grown edibleplantspreviously , so it was a with child experiment and joy for me to do so . Despite a mid - summer drought , we consume well .

Spaces for the raised beds.
The raised beds are done.
The vegetable garden was still very visible from the rest of the garden.
These beds were 1200mm wide so that the reach was easy from either side.
May and things are growing.
This became a haven.
Rainbow chard is good to grow for its looks as much as its taste.
Peas and beans.
I grow organically, so this was the engine room – I had 9 compost bins on the go at one stage.
This arrangement of bean poles worked well in these narrow beds.
Runner beans.
Tomatoes
I added some sunflowers for colour and seeds
Dicksonia antartica tree fern as a focal point.
Pear trees and potatoes.
Not much to do now.
