The front garden is on a bit of a slope. Or rather, two slopes with a flat bit in between. It gets more sun than the back, so I’ve made the larger flat bit into a veg patch. This is the bottom slope. Closest to the house is terraced, and will be used to grow mostly edibles after the soil has got a bit better. The top slope has a couple of apple trees on it, and will be left to get a bit wild (it’s a pain to mow!).
The entire place is a bit breezy, so I’m working on shelter. We now have a water butt out front and a decent compost bin. It’s coming. Slowly but surely.
An outdoor organic garden located in Brighton, United Kingdom, martian77's Veg patch garden currently contains 39 plants.
This is a Edible garden that is known to be in USDA Hardiness Zone 9a. It has mainly Chalk soil and receives Full Sun light.Photos
