I have been working since mid-September to get some things going on in my veggie plot in the lead-up to Winter..
LOL! I keep repeating - the angle you take the pics from can give a great impression. Looks like I have a market garden instead of a tiny little plot! I try to use as much of my space as possible. That's why every inch is put to use.
I already have a head-start with my leaf veggies, which consist mainly of Swiss chard, green and purple and fennel. There's also lettuce (iceberg), which you can't see yet in that bed. I've stuck down some horseradish that I had growing in a pot. My tomatoes did not yield a lot due to the cool temperatures and low rates of sun that we had this summer. I will be pulling them up and using the bed for something else.
In the foreground is my beetroot bed, which will continue to grow right through winter.
Mostly what I'd like you to see is my "raised bed in the making".
I used these old slats, that I found, that slot together and built them up into the highest raised bed I have to date.
