The first frost was closely approaching, and we needed to get our winter crops into the ground as soon as possible!!
After a little scout of our garden, we needed to figure out the crop rotation of our beds. This is done to the build up of crop specific-pests and diseases, it keeps the soil extra fertile although we add our own compost, as it prevents nutrient deficiency and helps keep it balanced.
We had 3 categories; brassicas, roots and other.
With this in mind we took a trip to our local garden centre where we did a little shopping :) We managed to pick up the correct seeds for planting this time of year, AND some beautiful Tulip and Daffodil bulbs so that we can have a blossoming spring!!
The next day, we woke up to a clear sunny day and knew we would be getting our hands dirty. We planted a small variety of vegetable in our beds such as potatoes, onions, radish, broad beans and garlic.
