phillippa's Leafy Greens garden

Garden Type: Vegetable | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Sand I'm Organic!

This ‘Back Bed’ was our original ’Veg’able Patch’. We’ve since branched out into other parts of the yard and now have two other fenced off garden beds dedicated to vegetables: the ‘Side Bed’ and the ‘Pond Bed’. The ‘Back Bed’ is growing a range of herbs and leafy crops this summer. We use a big net to keep out birds and a wire fence and wooden gate to keep out Fergus the Dog.
