Our Veggie Plot



After a fantastic harvest this year of courgettes, celery, sweetcorn, onions, lettuce, radish and peas in the pods, we are still harvesting our tomatoes as we speak.


I think it has to do with the humid weather we have been having; our starwberries are on their 3rd flush of the year!!! 





Also having the veg plot a tier below the pen for the ducks i think has made a huge difference.  


George jet washes the duck area every 3 days and all the organic matter is pushed down onto the lower tier were the veg plot is and I can honestly say that the size and quality of the veg we grew this year is definately down to the wonderful duck poo!!! Its true! 'Blood, fish and bone' was dug in there too which obviously helped it all along.


Have any of you been growing your own veg this year? We would love to know your stories!
