My sister's jungle garden and an expensive wheelbarrow

I was talking to my sister the other day about the sad state of my garden and trying to get more tips off her as she has a busy garden. She sent me a bunch of photos of her garden, which she described as a jungle!

Her garden isn't that big, and actually it's on the small side by UK standards. I was surprised she got so much crammed in there.

Here's her teepee in the middle of the garden for her beans. You can see roughly how big (or small) her garden is. There's some strawberries at the base, fully utilising all the space, but she's had to put nets around the strawberries to stop the birds eating them.

This is her little greenhouse, you can see it behind the teepee. The young mangetout peas grow in here, plus some chives, and gods knows what else she's managed to plant in here!

She gets a constant harvest of mangetout and purple beans, not a massive crop but enough to feed the family occasionally. And that's the beauty of all this.

In addition to a teepee and little greenhouse, there's a seedlings hatch. I gave her some of the bok choi seeds that Hive account@sjarvie5 sent to me last year and there's a good batch coming along. I'm sure she'll have a much more successful harvest than me.

Whilst the Arizona bok choi seedlings are growing, she's been growing some french giant bok choi. They're massive!!

I don't know if the size of the veggie is all down to the variety, or whether her new toy played any part to it. This year she bought a new gadget, a vegepod.

Apparently it's a movable bed made in Australia, has a sprinkler irrigation system above and a water tank under the soil. She said it's exactly what she's been looking for as some times she works long hours and can't get home in time to water her plants. The snugs can't get up to eat the veggies, and she's taped copper tape around the legs for extra precaution. The vegepod doesn't come cheap, nearly £300!! Yes, I can see Hive account@riverflows jumping up and down now 😂.

I told my sister it's an expensive wheelbarrow, and we had a good old chuckle over it. I can see her point though, as I'd really like something raised from the ground to stop my veggies being eaten by snugs as well.

My sister has a lot more stuff in her garden. I'd love to share them all but I'll leave that for next time coz I'm posting this from my mobile and it's taken me forever. Hats off to those who do it all the time.
