In the bottom right-hand corner of the Gamekeeper’s Cottage gardens, below the orchard is the area that will eventually become our vegetable garden.
Currently, this area is covered in grass, with only an old greenhouse that is being overgrown by the hedge, providing evidence that it has served this function once before.
Eventually, we would like to build raised beds along the fence and also within the plot. For the moment though, the area has only a few herbs that have been planted here.
Full reinstatement of the vegetable area is a while off yet, as we have other, more important, projects to complete first. But we have decided that we will make limited use of the area when time allows.
Over the next few posts, I will give some details of the work that we have already undertaken in the vegetable plot, planting a raspberry bush, onions and garlic and some more herbs.
