Jane has done most of the work and I've acted as under gardener most of the time but together we have transformed this end of the garden and there are crops coming through in sufficient quantities for Jane to be giving away lettuces to the new neighbours.

We do have problems with wood pigeons who not only dump on anything and everything in large, messy splodges they also peck at anything green so we have netted the brassicas and the peas. We look forward to next year when we can start earlier, prepare the soil better and grow our own plants from seed in the greenhouse.
