My plot at the moment look like a bomb site. In fact its depressing. But I know what I want to do with the space. I’m going to be using the polytunnel that lost its skin as a brassica cage. Buying a second polytunnel and creating 8 new raised beds. This will be achieved over the winter. I try to plan each stage and not think of it as a whole. I have also planned a large space that I could separate off for my strawbales and various trials with them. I enjoy hearing other peoples ideas and plans and am always thinking “cripes what a good idea, now how can I use that here”. I am going to be trialling lots of new seeds from my shop. Also asking a couple of members from each group to help. I never seem to get the time at the moment though.
I plan to plant more garlic this year and trial different types. We seem to get through more and more. I was so impressed by peoples efforts in growing cauliflowers that I had a go. I was very pleased with my effort.

This year was not great for me as regards runner beans. No idea why but very disappointing. There’s always next year. If you are reading this and thinking I must give this gardening malarkey a go. Do it, NOW. Join a group. Join my group, we are friendly and hopefully informative. That’s maybe why I named it Friendly And Informative Gardening Banter. We would be happy to welcome you. Please jump aboard here. We are a happy bunch and we have some very knowledgeable people who are always willing to help if they can. As the nights start to draw in it will for many people be out with the seed catalogues. Planning and ordering for the fun of next season. Pleas keep my shop Strawbale Simons Seeds in mind. The brand new shop is almost finished along with the new “Chilli Vault” where there will be a massive range of the hot stuff for you to grow. Happy Gardening Simon.
The new Chilli Vault coming soon to www.strawbaleveg.co.uk
