My new growing plot at Cordwainers Garden, a Capital Growth community urban food growing project in Hackney and a stones throw away from my new home up on Morning Lane. With the heavy lifting stage of constructing the raised bed (from recycled scaffolding planks) and putting in the soil/compost mix complete, it is now time for the seeds to do their thing. This late in the season I stuck to planting a mixture of hardy winter crops and fast maturing crops that will be ready before the colder weather hits us in a few months time. This includes some winter veg (kale, spinach beet), hardy lettuce (trying out Mizuna), beetroot (for young little roots), winter carrots and some radishes. Watch this space!
New plot complete with recycled wood, re-used wooden cutlery as crop labels, last years jerusalem artichoke stalks to hold up the protective netting and re-used bricks to hold down netting.
If you go down to the bottom of the garden...
A few little friends already popping us....Good Morning radishes :)
