Ever since I started trying to get our garden into shape, I’ve been planning to have a small veggie patch. I dismantled the rotting shed earlier this year and then some more time passed and I started to build a raised bed. Some more time passed and I laid a small paving area for a table, a couple of chairs and Oscar’s sand pit. (Note the recurrent use of the word small). In doing so, I had to move quite a lot of topsoil to make it level and it filled the raised bed.<\/p>\n

More time has passed, and periodically Hannah has asked me if I “actually plan on doing anything with that”; suggesting that it would look lovely with some nice heathers.<\/p>\n

I planted a couple of courgettes, a row of carrots, a row of mixed leaf salad, and some “spinach beet”<\/a>. We picked up a couple of free packets of seeds from Charlecote Park the other day, so Oscar and I planted three of the seeds.
