But back on topic, I think if your neighbours are approachable, a combination of helping them clear and putting barrier down at the same time would be a good way to go.

 

 

So you're near Endsleigh Nusery then Lyn? Drove very near you on Sunday!

Any inspiration here?

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

Anyone know how to put a picture in using an iPhone??

Afraid it can't be done. If you have the facility, email or transfer photo to PC, and upload it to the site from there.

Wow lots of research to get on with. Was wondering about oak raised beds and then some low fencing like willow or something maybe to keep it kind of enclosed. Any ideas in the structural side?? Funny enough I think veg is pretty but it's those bare winter months that worry me. And also the wind cuts through the frontage terribly! As we are on a hill.

 

Well, leeks and chard and broccoli and kale and brussels sprouts will all stand through (most) winters. And there's the option of sowing green manure as well.

Might be worth thinking of erecting/growing some sort of windbreak if the plot's that exposed.

 

Is this spring worse than last year's?

It's just getting so tedious isn't it? I've got quite a lot coming on in the gh, all the daffs etc are flowering away, but it's just so unrelentingly cold. I know I'm luckier than many, not under feet of snow, but all the same..

I'd recommend you have a look at Joy Larkcom's 'Creative Vegetable Garden' / Alys Fowler's 'The Edible Garden/ Sarah Raven's 'The Great Vegetable Plot'. they're all full of inspiring ideas for decorative and productive veg growing.

Oh I'm sorry Derek, I'll see if I can post link so that it's accessible to all.

Overwintered runner bans

Left the roots in after clearing last year's crop, they've survived the winter and putting up new growth.
