The garden

Over the last three years our poor vegetable garden has been abandoned. In 2011 I was pregnant, worked full time and we had just started building our huge extension. A year later we had a 6 month old baby, I was back at work and The Husband still spend every available minute building. Last year, well, I was pregnant again and Little Brother was born in May. 

So now our vegetable garden looks like this.  


Abandoned, overgrown, messy. 


It's a disgrace. 

It was lovely to see those veggies grow in our garden; potatoes, tomatoes, cucumber, pumpkin, courgette, beans, onions, leeks, sweetcorn, rhubarb. We had it all. 
There was also some fruit; strawberries, raspberries, black berries, gooseberries, apples, plums. 
Those apples and plums seem to be the only thing we have left. 

The good news is that our house is almost, almost completely finished. And so we can make time for the garden again. 
It is going to take a lot of clearing, weeding, digging and probably cursing. But it'll be worth it.
