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.
