OK so it's been a while!

But these last few days have been epic!  We've dug and hoe'd and raked every last inch of soil in our back garden and we've now got something resembling a very tidy mud pit.  We've made a raised bed and bought and assembled a (plastic) greenhouse and dug in some good old fashion manure and compost.  I've planted onions (and forgot to plant the garlic!) and made a poly tunnel out of stuff hanging around already.  And more than that....we've got a plan!

Carrots
Leeks
Onions
Garlic
Potatoes
Cabbages
Spinach
Broccoli
Tomatoes
Lettuce
Rocket
Herbs
Parsnips
Pumpkins
Squash
French Beans

phew! we're gonna be overloaded! lots of veggie recipes and plans to make I think! Hopefully we'll fit it all in and it wont involve being too super organised!

I think as this is the first time we're doing it there's gonna be a lot of bare soil until we're ready to plant out in each area but once we get the hang of it and see how quickly everything grows and how well in our soil which hopefully will mean that next year we can fit stuff in a bit better.
