Home family and the garden.: The garden starts to take shape.

Hello all, sorry this update has taken so long, we have been very busy getting the house decorated and the garden tamed.
The weather has prevented us doing alot in the garden up until the last couple of weeks.
In those last two weeks we have been hard at it in the garden, we tried to dig over the rear veg patch but due to the length of time the area has been set-aside (is the best description) and leigh snapping a fork off trying to dig it over we had to take more drastic action, (see video).

This may seem like being a bit lazy but trust me this really was the only realistic way we could have this plot producing this season.

the power harrowing was done on a thursday (after i removed the sky dish, lean to and half the fence to allow access for the tractor) we planted the plot out on the friday/saturday with 70 onion sets, swede seed, savoy cabbage seed, pumpkin seeds, loads of sunflower seeds, peas, sweet peas, runner beans, three different seed potato varieties, (all main crop) pak choi, carrots, raspberry canes (rescued on freecycle), courgettes and iceburg lettuce seeds.

we also have a small garden for our daughter at the front of the house with the black currant plants and a rhubarb which where transplanted from the back garden before the harrowing was done, they are about 25years old! still going strong which is suprising as they where under a large trampoline for much of that time, amazing.

We also saved the old green house that was in the bushes and patched it up with some polysheeting we were given, we have two pepper plants and three tomatoes plants in there and more tomato seeds in trays which we will put out when ready.

we also plan to grow some cucumbers in there too but its too early for the plants to be in the garden centre's yet.

i will get some pictures posted soon, we have had to change computers and the pictures are on the old one, so will take some more tomorrow and post them.

We will finish updating later this week (with luck).

Can't belive we planted the seeds two weeks ago and they are nearly all showing already.

thanks for your support your coments are most welcome.

Here are the pictures of the planted plot as promised:
