Six weeks in the garden

Just planted during the last week of May:

Our newly planted garden. We divided the garden into three beds, each roughly 4 feet wide with paths between them. At the top centre you can see the bean tee pee which is at the Southwest corner of the plot. Beside it in the bed is spinach and lettuce and then three tomato plants. This is the shortest bed of the garden because of the raspberry bushes.

In the centre bed we have carrots, 2 pepper plants, cucumber and zucchini and onions and garlic.

In the bed nearest in the photo we have tomatoes, wild strawberries and mint, and the herb circle. A few more herbs are tucked in around the other plants - calendula, chamomile, and nasturtium. The rhubarb is at the northeast corner of the garden. We inherited it from our friend and previous plot holder.
The north end of our plot is marked by a path and a large patch of raspberries.



The herb circle just after planting. We haven't got the garden paths marked with stones in this picture.

And six weeks later:

Here is the herb circle 6 weeks after the bulk of it was planted.




And here is the garden roughly one week ago at the 6 week mark. The wild chicory marks the beginnings of our neighbours plot
