    Runner beans.

    Do you guys use the beans from the current crop to plant for next year's plants or do you buy a new packet ?

    Nearly there with the garage extension. Finished the roof yesterday. Back wall to go on today if it stays dry. Then fit the sloping light and paint all the walls grey. The 'new' panels are fibreglass, not alumimium like the old ones. Match well though. Dead easy to cut with a diamond blade on the angle grinder. Got a roof flashing strip to go against the concrete wall yet.



    Taking my time. I'm not as quick as I used to be!

    Just about there with the garage extension exterior. The sloping panels at the rear are translucent and let light onto the workbench inside. Bit of carpentry to do inside and I'll extend the wiring for the relocated workbench lighting. Exterior coat of paint next big (ish) job. Piles of topsoil to shift too.

    Our garden is absolutely sodden; turning into a bog currently



    I've all sorts growing in the raised beds you can see down the left hand side and the bottom right corner (sprouts, cabbage, caulis, 2 rows of parsnips, swede, scorzonera, celeriac and a plethora of herbs (bay, thyme, sage, rosemary, oregano etc)

    The last of the brandywine toms and courgettes are in the greenhouse along with my 4 year old and getting very big Pinot grape vine

    I've chard, spinach and cavolo nero/kale growing in there too, that's for the winter crop

    Only a few apples on the trees at the bottom in front of the trellis fencing, the 2 pear trees (one Williams and one Conference) haven't fruited yet, they're only 3 years old though so still very young). Last crop of rhubarb is appearing too and that'll be it for this years fruit

    Can't wait for the day to get rid of the garage and erect something better...

    I'll be having a few more trees felled this winter and clearing a large area in the woods so I can fence it off for chickens and their hutch I'll be putting another shed up behind the greenhouse too!

    Every other house that backs onto the woods has extended into the woods bar ours; so I'll gain another 18ft in and 20ft wide too

    It's gonna take a lot of clearing, but once it's done a fair bit, I'll let the chucks do the rest!

    Very nice garden. You've got a lot packed in there! A word of warning though: Keep the chicken fencing much higher than you think you'll need, otherwise the Bugg£rs will ruin all your hard work!
