So cast your mind back to my post on the 'Cropping Plan' and I can confirm that we've created a veggie patch in our field (rather than the garden) loosely following the family size veggie cropping plan from Joy Larkcom's book 'Grow Your Own Vegetables'.
A tractor load of eight and a half tons of compost has been delivered and spread across the beds then rotovated. There's an area set aside for a polytunnel, aside from that there are four 15m x 1m beds for veggies and another four beds for salad. Our organic seed order has been received and many seeds sown so we have plants in the greenhouse ready to be transplanted to the main beds over the next few days. Before the plants are moved we thought it a good idea to knock up some protection from rabbits. I just hope the deer don't get any funny ideas either.
