News from the Vegetable Plot














I have recently discovered a new product known as Tidytent. There sell a number of types according to your needs.. I chose the Culti Tent as I wanted something unobtrusive but pleasing to the eye. I have since erected one on the Vegetable Plot. The product arrives in a small package and the first impression is whether it is the right product but it proved to be everything the website claimed. The design is simple but ingenious and does provide enough space inside to shelter and have seed trays and other. I have already sowed some lettuce. If you want to look at their range which includes bike tents and other go to: http://www.tidytent.com/ The website states that they don't sell direct to the public but by phoning I was able to purchase one. I thought the price was extremely reasonable.
















The Vegetable plot is going into the quiet period now. I have dug over all areas that are free of vegetables and incorporated manure. I am still harvesting red cabbage, chinese cabbage, provence salad leaf, spinach and brussel sprouts. For next year there are overwintering onions (red and white), spring cabbage and garlic.




I have also just built an area for composting.

These are scenes from everyday life in Vietnam in September 2009
They were an inspiration for my mini landscapes and instilled in me an even greater respect for the Vietnamese People.
