Arty Choke and the vampires

Yet another scorcher on the plot so a bit more digging and planting.

To stop the wind blowing across the plot I've dug a trench and planted it with Jerusalem Artichokes which apparently grow to about 10ft!!!



The sun is to the left (and up quite a lot) so should hit the fruit bushes which are up against the fence and also the artichokes.

I also planted a couple of bulbs of garlic on one of the beds, and there was no sign of Count Duckula and his mates so it's obviously doing the trick.




Finally, another bed was dug into the plot next to the cold frame giving me the spare beds for tomatoes, caulis, and any seeds I've forgetten to plant yet.

Before:
(those weeds at the back are 4ft high)



After:




All in all, a productive Bank Holiday I think you'll agree!
