This year I have expanded the vegetable garden in size, and added horse manure to help improve the fertility of the earth.

I have simplified the vegetables I am growing this year, to try and understand the growing of my main root crops as best as I can. I have planted mainly Roman white beetroot, yellow carrots and parsnips, with some loose leaf lettuce and peas.

I have also saved a good number of beets and parsnips to set to seed, so that I can plant my own seed in the following year. This also rests the bed, as a form of 'fallow cycle'. I have been weeding and transplanting using a deer scapula, which makes a good weeding blade.

I am very pleased with how well my beetroots and carrots came up, growing thick and fast! The dry weather has meant there are far fewer slugs than last year, which seems to have really helped.

I'm looking forward to seeing the peas come up and start growing, perhaps producing the first seed stock for my later pea fields, which will provide good fertility within a two field rotation system.
