Establishing winter garden 2022

Image
Started planting out the winter garden in the third raised bed. This is my second year growing veg  during the winter ( read about last year here ).  Took the frame from the first garden where it had been supporting cucumbers.  At the foot of the frame I planted out some snow peas, and a ‘chick pea’ like variety. I’ve noticed that the black birds like to throw stuff about when they are foraging about, so I’m upending these seed trays to give them a bit of protection.     I started some cabbage a few weeks back and it’s started to shoot. Also planting Chinese mustard, spinach, boc choy, Chinese cabbage, red midget cabbage, and broccoli. Doing a lot of mulching to cover the garden beds Click here if you don't see the video above click here if you don't see the video above

End of season tomato crop cleanup

End of the tomatoes for this year so I’m cleaning up the bed. This is what it looked like before I cut all the vines out. I’m leaving the roots behind in the soil. Laying down some coffee grinds and ash Final layer of mulch. I’m going to leave it to rest until next summer. click here if you don't see the video above click here if you don't see the video above a click here if you don't see the video above
