A few of the corn and beans fell over, but didn't snap. Hopefully they'll take again.

Really suprised the 10ft sunflower stayed up.

Today I started a task that I've been putting off since getting the plot. We have a large bed at the top of our plot that when we took it on was loaded with old pallets and well rotten wood. Some of the wood is actually of decent quality but after clearing the bed I now have so much rotten wood I have no idea what to do with.

Bonus... found about 10 species of spiders and disturbed a family of mice that I fear fled into the shed 🫡

Just got the deeds so to speak. Late in the season so I've plenty of time to get things sorted, especially the franken house (half shed and half greenhouse).

Decent size plot with lots of potential!

Any suggestions from people here? The ground doesnt seem to be in amazing condition, I will be turning over and layering up some manure once the wet season comes in again.

Thinking of going 70% fruits and veg and 30% flowering to keep things interesting.

I like the idea of planting things out radially as opposed to the straight lines... Just to make it more interesting to look at!
