Dreaming of future harvests

Having completed the raised beds (bar the compost) and the shed building (bar the painting) I have been entertaining myself by planning what I might plant where. Knowing myself as I do I think it’s safe to say that the plan I have drawn up will not be stuck to, but it’s a starting point.

The beds are pretty wide and so will be sub-divided using bamboo or the remaining quarry tiles we have. It’s difficult to get much sense of how much will fit in at the moment. I know that with raised beds you can squash more in together, but it’s difficult to judge how much space we need to allow. Only time will tell.

Now all I have to do is get the manure delivered, fill the beds and start planting for winter. Oh, is that all?
