Our backyard in now looking more like a garden center than the kitchen garden I’d planned.
Since I now have an allotment, I’m rethinking the backyard space. I’m going to keep it just for herbs and some salad plants from now on. Next year the beans and sunflowers that are happily growing in the backyard will be planted up in the allotment, which will free up a lot of space in the back yard, or yarden as the Mrs calls it.
So far the kitchen garden is doing very well. The herbs are all strong and healthy, and the courgettes are growing to a good size. I’ve even had a small crop of peas, which were very tasty.
