(Note: Pictures from the gardening event with the childcare centre will hopefully be up by next week! Will also insert the original schematics for the garden by this week!)
So the plan is to plant Beds 1&3 with "heavy givers" this season so as to make up for last harvest's heavy feeding crops. "Heavy givers" like peas and beans have been planted on both beds to fix nitrogen back into the soil.
However, we do have some Chinese greens growing on Bed 3 that are transplanted with some broad beans. By the time the broad beans sprout, the greens would've been harvested, so according to Cath, we're technically still right in saying that Bed 3's on the mend.
Bed 2, on the other hand, we've planted with some brassicas. Little turnip and parsnip leaves are starting to show up, and a couple of onion seedlings too!
We've also managed to start terracing the 4th bed.

AmyThanks to Leeanne as well for helping with the weeding!
See you guys next week! We might try and do a bit of netting for Beds 2 & 3, plant some potatoes or start putting some soil in for Bed 4!
