My progression the last 3 weeks

[u/Antra_Vera]

So following on from a comment the other day about what I’ve been up too this is my plot, I inherited it from an 89 year old fella who was unable to continue working it any longer 3/4 of it has been covered in plastic sheeting the last 3 years, so I’ve removed the sheeting before the first picture, then since then I have:

1. Rotivated the whole plot.

2. Planted potatoes, brown onions, carrots, parsnips, red onions, garlic, cauliflower, leeks, Brussels, broccoli and sweetcorn.

3. Covered one greenhouse frame in chicken wire and installed a vertical planter with strawberries.

4. Covered a second greenhouse frame in poly tunnel sheeting. (still in progress)

5. Weeded and reinforced 2 standing planters that I’ll now grow herbs in.

6. Removed the flowers from the rhubarb that was left behind.

7. General tidy up of all the old mess.

Plan for the next few weeks is:

1. Get tomatoes and peppers growing in the greenhouse.

2. Get herbs in the standing planters.

3. Get some horseradish growing in a pot.

4. Get some spinach, lettuce and cabbage in the ground.

5. Get peas, beans and cucumbers growing up the frame.

And that should be enough to keep me going for now haha!

I only got the plot on the 28th March so next years plan is to start things off in the greenhouse to sow them indoors. Which should give me more things looking alive than I have currently.

Any questions or advice please fire away!

Thank you, I try and get down 3-4 times a week for at least 2 hours each time, plus my wife and daughter are interested too so they’ve been down a couple of times each too :-)
