February 2009 – The Vegetable Patch Begins

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

This month we have decided to make the vegetable patch.  We have set out a square and divided that into four squares with paths that run separating each bed in a cross pattern.  In the centre there will be a large pot.  Each square bed will be sectioned in half by a scaffold board that we acquired from a friendly builder.  We have decided to edge each bed in box hedging.

The start of the vegetable patch

So with the planning finished we need to put it into practice.  The area was woodland so we ordered lots of good well rotted manure from a local source and dug it into the new vegetable beds.  Then we planted the many box plants to form the hedge.  Lastly the large pot was put into place.  Very exciting and very aching backs!
