Welcome to the Small Veggie Patch!

I've grown my own fruit and vegetables since a child and for the past eight years I've been lucky enough to run a half plot allotment. However, my last three years were disastrous at the allotment due to the very strange weather. Cold late Springs, dry Summers and unpredictable precipitation. Last year (2013) I got hold of my spade and decided to turn the 'dumping ground' at the end of my garden into a raised bed veggie patch. Here's what happened... And is happening...

Summer may have begun...

The potatoes are forming flowers. I had a rummage today and there are some marble sized potatoes forming. 


Potatoes are monsters taking over their bed!


The broccoli and calabrese equally monstrous!


The greenhouse is also growing a treat with first tomatoes setting nicely, cucumbers growing and peppers popping!
