Vegetable PlotFrom the bottom of the kitchen lawn down to the Coach House is a plot of land that was overgrown when we moved in. We have rotivated this land and it is now the start of a cottage vegetable garden. The aim is to have vegetabled in the middle, with flowers round the edge and to fill in the gaps.
So far, we have planted potatoes, carrots, runner beans, peas and raspberries. Our current problem is dealing with the large amount of weeds that seem not to want to go away!
To the north side of this area is an original brick wall, made from clay bricks and held together with lime mortar. There are many plants growing up this wall, including a number of trees. We also recently purchased a small stone statue of a monk leaning on a sword to add some additional interest to this area.
