What a difference 10 weeks makes...

Here are the 'during' and 'after' shots of my plot renovation.

There have been even more changes since the second picture - the potatoes are flowering, the jerusalem artichokes are soaring upwards, there are big cabbages coming along, kohl rabi, and a three sisters planting scheme (sweetcorn, beans and squash), though why it's named after a Chekhov play I don't know. Perhaps it loses something in the translation. My pumpkins aren't as fast growing as I was hoping though, but it is early days.

I have caved in and bought a covered raised bed kit for my tomatoes and cucumbers, very exciting. I should have it by the weekend, so those babies can really get going. It's from http://www.v-gloo.co.uk/ - full review to follow on this blog!
