How does your garden grow?
Onoff replied to recoveringbuilder's topic in Landscaping, Decking & Patios
The veg patch will hopefully be a rectangle, on a slight slope. These two photos looking from the south west. The tree house is at the top of the slope. Looking down slope from the tree house platform. Some lawn to come up then a bigger area of tufty, overgrown, ivy (from next door) covered ground. Even has some runners from the cherry tree. Should the beans go at the top or bottom of the slope? -

No doubt instructions on the packet but is there a recommeded spacing for bean plants? I've been told to grow some up in pots before planting. -

Long term for the sunny corner of the garden is a garden room shaped to make most use of the Sun. The veg page will go down slope of this. I'm thinking if I'm to have this veg patch then it needs to be far away enough from the hedge that I can drive the mower down. Furthermore, I'm thinking future services to the shed. Should I be looking to maybe put a length of say 300mm dia duct that I can get soil pipes and other services in? Especially if the bean trench will cross it. Or I plan the garden room now, trench the length of the veg patch and lay a length of soil and some ducts that power and water can go in later? I'll put some sizes up later. -

OK I've been recommended these runner bean seeds by a family member. Specifically the Czar variety: https://www.realseeds.co.uk/runnerbeans.html -

Possibly to be repurposed as some sort of netted frame... -

It bugs me more that the dormers aren't symmetrical to the garage door! 😂 -

Took the small trampoline down to make a bit of space and decide where the veg patch is going. The hedge faces SW. Beam trench will come out from the hedge at 90 degrees. Some quite thick tufts and a big patch of ivy to the lhs of the barrow. What to do with this lot? -

What are the pyramids? Just "art" or do they serve a purpose and cover something like a reservoir? -

Can't be that hard to corner a damp sheep and sprinkle a packet over it? -

Many a truer word said in jest! If you can grow mustard and cress on cotton wool, I don't see why lettuce wouldn't grow on the back of a sheep 😉 -

Unfortunately I won't be using that. Nematodes maybe? -

Very roughly below, the red lines show the plot front and side boundaries. The yellow line the approx bean trench which will run north east to south west. North to south which I understand is the ideal would offend my sense of symmetry! Saying that the feng shui may be better...
