Here's our main veggie patch at the moment, much of it gone to seed. The pumpkin in the furthest corner is growing quickly, but no actual fruit to be seen yet, just flowers.



This patch is very exposed to the sun for most of the day, and we really need some shade plants. In the middle is a dip for a little pond - I keep meaning to pick up some pond liner. However, we've been considering just putting a tree in the middle, which would provide shade.

On the other hand, by the time a tree planted in the middle gets big enough to provide a bit of shade, so would the bamboo we've planted on the western side.
