The Vegetable Patch

 Now that the weather is fairing up, it is time to sort out the vegetable garden.  I have put in Broad Beans and Potatoes.  The gooseberries have been repositioned and the strawberries tidied up.

The vegetable beds are at the top end of the garden, beyond the greenhouse and the Tamarisk tree, which is looking very pink whilst it is in flower.

The beds have been fenced around with chicken wire to keep the contents out of the way of the badgers, who see this type of produce as fair game for eating. The foxes do very little damage in the garden, but the badgers will dig up the lawn for worms and eat any suitable garden produce as if they owned the place.

Our garden is intentionally wildlife friendly, so we have to put up with the issues that are present when all of the world is free to roam in.
