11th May 2008 - first plants bed 1

I was SOOOO pleased to get cracking with my first bed. I dismantled my old garden fence and made my raised bed using the panels and small garden sticks. Then, I got my first plants in! I planted cauliflower, purple sprouting broccoli and brussels sprouts, as well as two butternut squash and one aubergine plant. I cut and nailed old fence posts together to make rectangles and hooped chicken wire over it which I fastened on with small plastic tie wraps. These are my wire cloches to protect my lovely new crops from pesky rabbits and birds until I get some fencing up. My very own invention!
