Garden Plans > 2011: VEGETABLE GARDEN

About this Garden Plan

Tried 4-foot gardening on my raised beds this year. Whilst I didn't follow the exact 4-foot idea of a different veg in each square, it has helped me keep my veggies in some sort of order! I covered them with hoops and mesh which kept birds and insects off them - however the slugs did manage to overcome the barriers. The French beans were excellent and the purple sprouting broccoli is already flowering. Really cute Brussel Sprouts are just appearing for winter eating.
