My Garden » richardpeeej
I have a smallish sized back garden which has a lot of sun where I am growing runner beans,peas, french beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and many different flowers. I have built 2 raised troughs 2m x 0.7m,and 1 trough of 2m x 0.4m.
These are comments that richardpeeej has left on blog posts and gallery photos.
I found this blog fascinating Miranda as I did not know about the European Bees not hibernating-(we saw a wasp flying around the garden and thought it was a bit unusual-may be a sign of warmer autumns/winters?).I bought some wild bird seed and a feeder when we were out shopping today but never gave a thought about bees as I thought they weren't around. Your suggestions about fragrant plants that attract and feed bees sounds a good tip for winter colour and a help to pollenating insects at this time of year. I say "if we look after them when times are hard then they will come back and help us when we need them for pollenating our fruit and veg next season". :-) Richard
As a welshman, now living in Leicester, I would like to grow some leeks as seen in a container, as I have decking. I have a spare 2 foot diameter container. Would it be too late to plant leek seeds now, and how many plants would I be able to put in the container?
Hi - I've not been here long, but I would like to wish you all the best for the future also.
I think this is great, I have just built a few troughs in my back garden from left over boards that were used for our decking. They are planted up with runner beans and peas which are coming on well. Best of luck with your raised beds. I expect they are planted up now. Regards -Rich
