My Lockdown Edible Garden - Part 2

Floss in front of the growing beds in full bloom!

Back in spring  I shared a blog post about a temporary edible garden I was designing as life in the the UK was being overwhelmed with the realities of the arrival of the  COVID 19 pandemic . In this post I share some more photographs about how this temporary garden grew and thrived throughout the growing season of this surreal and uncertain year. 

South facing wall - June. Tomatoes, runner beans, sunflowers and courgette/squash

Sunflowers and runnerbeans thrived (and looked great!) together

August - growing numerous edible flowers meant that the beds were literally buzzing with bees and hoverflies

Runner beans - such a gorgeous colour!

.....as were the the 4 different varieties of courgettes I grew (plus courgette flowers and rainbow chard shredded in this pic)

Harvest's of a spiritual kind - growing edible flowers on the edges of the growing beds meant really beautiful spaces for non gardening activities

As I write this at the 1st October Harvest Full Moon, I have been in my new home (and garden) for just over a year and making plans to finish this "pop up" garden and rejoin my bigger much longer term whole garden design again. ​
