The paths have finally been dug. Lovely husband came and dug the rest for me and now they are all straight and wonderful and the raised beds are extremely raised so I barely need to bend down when planting. The tomato plants started dying off so I picked the rest of the tomatoes and pulled up the plants and have planted loads of stuff ready for next year. We have an entire bed full of garlic and onions, and have planted 52 broad beans!
The winter squash have slowed down somewhat so I think they need a bit of fertiliser so I’ll take down some smelly horrible weed tea to feed them with. And we have comfrey springing up all over what is supposed to be the potato patch (so I think I may have to rethink that one and just leave it as a comfrey and herb patch.
Next job is to get herbs on the go in pots in the greenhouse so I can plant them round the edge of the beds companion planting style. I also have heaps of marigolds for next year as well, to deter pests.
