Small Garden Winter 2021

See what has changed since we were last here in this 25sqm/270sqft no dig garden, mid October 2020. Autumn has changed to winter, and many of the same vegetables are still growing, very slowly now!

This is Somerset in the UK. Climate zone 8 with winters mostly above freezing, damp air and little sunshine.

The garden is in three non-sided beds, without disturbing the soil. No dig means easy maintenance and few weeds. This frees time to care for the 12 different vegetables, herbs and flowers.

In 2019 we harvested 179kg/364lb vegetables from this garden, in 2020 112kg/248lb, (different vegetables).
