What a season!

 Ok, ok...so I failed miserably with the updates. In my defence, the garden had a lot of fails this year. Things that did well were:

Potatoes - planted my usual square container plus 2 buckets. The yield wasn't amazing, but it did us for about 4 meals.

Lettuce - I think I planted about 3, and they did really well, but there was a lot of waste due to lack of planning.

Beetroot - they grew really well, but then they weren't used in enough time, and they were left to rot.

Tomatoes - Really good, and still going!

Strawberries - got a decent crop through the summer. Will be sorting out and re-potting some of the existing and newly grown plans, possibly into hanging baskets.

I have begun doing away with the raised beds, in favour of increasing the lawn space. So next season, everything I grow will be in pots and containers.

I have in the garden at the moment:

Leeks - these are ready, although very thin. I'll use them as and when, they're fine to stay in the ground.

Garlic - planted into a pot about 2 weeks ago, and growing well. Will transfer to a bigger container soon.
