Garden Bed

As I had half a trailer of leftover soil that needed to go somewhere I’ve built a new garden bed in a position that gets a lot of sunlight. There’s nothing in it at the moment, still deciding on what to grow. The black recycling container has a packet of carrot seeds in it and should provide adequate depth.

Lattice

To give the snow peas something to cling onto, I got some lattice and built a frame to support it. The snow peas are looking good so far.

Slugs!

It didn’t take long for the slugs to find the lettuce and overnight they got trashed. I picked up some pellets to try and manage those but it’ll take a while for the lettuce to regrow.

Tomatoes

The tomatos are not looking good at all, we think this is due to the constant rain we’re getting at the moment and lack of sunshine has kept the soil a bit too wet.
