Murray's 'round the back garden

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

This is the garden in my backyard. The area used to be car parking so the soil has taken a lot of building up to get it to a productive stage. Finally things are growing well there. I have potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, beans, pumpkins, sweetcorn, mint, black currents, and raspberries growing in this area.
