Is anyone growing wheat? I've planted a small patch to see how it grows and its doing well in the wet and windy valley i live in.

All going rather swimmingly here, no extended dry spells have meant we've avoided the chore of nightly watering.

What are you growing in each bed Mick? Do you just rotate your crop clockwise each season or do certain plants have to follow others to keep the soil balanced? I have a small area of 2 year old sycamore and ash saplings that is going to get cleared to make way for vegetables and chickens! I might use the saplings to make some hurdles/fencing to keep it all neat and tidy.

If I'm honest it's mostly the wife's doing, we do rotate though, she keeps a diary to ensure it.

 

The biggest thing we've discovered lately is growing the tatties in the wood chip pile.

 

Don't use the new stuff though, only the two year old stuff.

Parsnips have been a success this year!

[NFG]

Thats a long one!

Last year was amazing for fruit, we had plenty of spuds, harricot beans, peas, leeks a bit wormy, butternut squash - dozens, peppers, aubergene but not so well with carrots.

Some victories, some failures.

 

That’s gardening.
