[QUOTE="primmiemoo, post: 8147560, member: 83588"] Been bringing back the little vegetable garden steadily from nettles and rampant comfrey since the first lockdown. There were already volunteer sapo potatoes from a previous effort there (it's a blight prone zone), so their bed was utilised to start a sort of rotation. Only basics of potatoes, greens, beans, and chards for now, but an in-law is trying sweet potato, and other things, and I am interested to follow progress. I'm not a natural at gardening, but it falls to me to do it. There's an area under a thuggish buddleia that should have a raised bed in place of the bush, so that's on the list for this year. Root vegetables straight in the ground haven't been successful so far ~ extra growing depths in a raised bed will hopefully solve that. Had a little success with basic salads grown in old lick tubs. Found long-lost gooseberries, and planted a small, linear, high-line orchard that will crop next year. Completely amateur, not very tidy, but it does yield. [/QUOTE]
