Spring time



I cant believe how fast time goes now a days, already October.
All the hard work has started in the vegetable garden, lots of summer seeds have gone in, we want to try to use the whole of the garden this summer.
Only half of the garden is now terraced and have beds for the plants, the other half is still wild and full of grass and weeds, we have put many old car tyres in this part and will grow the fruit baring plants in the tyres, we tried a few tyres last summer and it went well with the pumpkins and watermelons.
There must be about 70-80 tyres now and every few weeks we will plant a few more seeds in the tyres, hopefully we will have plenty of pumpkins, butternuts, marrows, watermelons and melons this summer season long.

All the mothers worked very hard these last months, we made new compost heaps, all the old tyres moved to the lower part of the garden for the use of the fruit bearing plants this summer and we built the new heaps with the pellets from the Lovell Industries.
We ordered lots of new compost and ofcourse are also making our own.
