Flowers, Plants and Vegetables

All of the seeds in the Greener Fields allotment have now had a couple of months to sprout and develop, and what a magnificent sight for the owners!

In just 3 months this ‘back of the garden’ unused space has started to show real signs of becoming a positively thriving veg patch.

As the current plants continue to grow, and new seeds are sown, the space will continue to fill out! The owners ”can’t wait to taste the future fruits’.

Garden maintenance man, Phil Taylor, says; ‘things are going really well, it is uncanny how well all that has been planted has taken. I suspect we owe much of the current success to the rich compost that was added, which was mostly taken from the owners own home-made supply.’ Currently there vegetables growing in the garden include; rocket, lettuce, beetroot, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, onions, spring onions, leeks, garlic, courgettes, broad beans and French beans (of many varieties), chilli’s, potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, and sweet corn, and many various herbs. These will continue to be planted throughout the summer months, giving a continued supply of fresh vegetables.
