My attempts at gardening continue...

I haven't actually killed the rhubarb, quince tree or gooseberry bush yet, which is a good start.

They've now been joined by a row of garlic, a row of parsnips, a row of Hamburg parsley and half a row of radishes. Plus an awful lot of strawberry plants in pots...

I'll add some more radishes in a week or two - I'm trying to time them to avoid a glut - and probably put some spring onions next to the garlic.

That leaves, um, a lot - beetroot, turnips and salsify, which can all share a bed. Sprouts, kohlrabi and a couple of kale plants... Which, again, can share a bed.

The fourth bed will be perennials - asparagus, artichokes, cardoons and some horseradish (in an escape-proof box, with tiles buried in the ground to contain it...)

...and that leaves the fifth (raised) bed, against the fence and a little shadier, for the various salad-y things. Mustard greens, mibuna, chicory, lamb's lettuce and the like. There may be rocket at some point...

The handul of other things I'm growing - tomatoes, aubergines and cucumber - will all be in containers.

...and now I just need to worry about what, if anything, I plant later in the year to replace this lot. :)
