New Vegetable Bed Planted

Over the last 2 weeks we have gradually planted seedling in our new bed.  This bed receives much more sunshine than our original bed.


The bed is divided into quarters and at the moment are:
Bed 1 - Leafy vegetables (plus 2 roots at the end that wouldn't fit in bed 2) - 3 varieties of Lettuce
Bed 2 - Root vegetables - Carrots & Radishes sown in together
Bed 3 - Fruiting - Zucchini
Bed 4 - Fruiting - Capsicums & Tomatoes

The carrots & radishes were sown straight into the bed, then we left an old nightie over them for a couple of weeks till they germinated (note: next time sow carrots 1-2 weeks before radishes).  The zucchini were germinated in toilet rolls indoors.  One tomato plant is self-seeded from the compost, and the onion is growing from an onion in the kitchen.  The rest are seedlings from the nursery.
