Our New Year heralds the start of a new, bigger garden for us! Yippee!
We have built a new garden because we just couldn’t grow enough food in the old one. It is a bit more than 3 times bigger in area, on a slight slop and in a north-west facing position.

Put some wood sleepers around the edge to contain the whole thing, built the fence by using most of the old stuff from the old garden.
now the hard work begins... |
On the weekend we installed the irrigation this was easy, we just used “knockers” - more about this in a future blog.
So new garden is ready to go but nothing is planted because the earth that we worked up is so dry deep down, so once we get good rain – we’ll be out there after the first shower!

starting to come together, just the fencing to go |
In the meantime we haven’t just been watching the heat - I've been busy planting some seeds into seedling trays that will save some time after it rains - presuming that happens in the next month…
