This month we finished building our new garden beds, and move an absolute mountain of mulch for the paths. With the crops growing strongly we were able to harvest enough fruit and vegetables from the plot that we didn't need to buy any from the shops. The strawberries are incredibly sweet, and with several different varieties ripening at different rates, every couple of days we pick a big punnet full. We keep our plastic supermarket packaging to use to harvest all the berries, but as well as gooseberries, strawberries and raspberries, we've also got fabulously sweet carrots, mange tout peas, lettuce, cabbage, kale, chard, beetroot, spinach, mizuna, radishes, turnips, and a plethora of herbs, cutting flowers, and edible flowers. This really is "the good life"!
