Jobs for tomorrow - SV650.org

This patch (photo taken on a very dull day) is our front garden:

It's 10.5m from the fence to the garage (behind the caravan) and 7.5m wide (fence to drive).

Tomorrow's job is to get rid of the remaining builder rubble and crap (the whitish-gray thing on the left is the old water tank from out the loft) and then start digging it

We've decided to grow veggies on it and I gotta get my early hardy broad beans in

The photo is looking south so it'll get the sun (if we ever see it again here

) all day. The caravan is going soon - we've sold it, after living in it for 3 months we can't face having hols in it - so I'll take up the hardstand, I love using a kango hammer

and replace the soil (it's the pile in the far left corner). Also I gotta make a two coldframes that will sit either side of the pier on the brick wall, 1.5m long, 1m deep, 0.8m high. And then make some raised beds, sort of interlocking triangular design.

Chillis already sown in pots indoors and coming up

Perhaps we should have a 'growing veggies' thread

I don't vote LibDem

Anyway I can see that you're all hugely interested, so I have to report that although it ****ed down all night, I have cut the first sod

Spose it better nor 'big fat weedy gypsy'

You'll all be insanely jealous of my veggies. I'm going to torment you with regular pix of life down on the farm

Veggies in the FRONT garden? What will the neighbours say?!?!?

Currently waiting for my seeds, onion sets and seed potatoes to arrive from Marshalls. My weekend veg patch jobs include washing the pots ready for sowing, getting some grow bags in, dig in the compost I spread over my raised beds a few weeks ago, turn the compost heaps, wash down the greenhouse before re-installing the staging, and probably lots more...

Send us some "after" pics Ed, and ignore those unbelievers who hum the Good Life theme tune just loud enough that you can hear - I got used to it years ago.

Yes, in the front garden

Why not??? I don't care what the neighbours say, they think me a bit odd anyway
