Since getting married and moving into a flat in Norwich, Rachel has had her first real opportunity to get stuck into gardening and has enjoyed it.
She's turned half of the small garden into an allotment and grown quite a variety:
dwarf and runner beans, rocket, lettuces, beetroot, (purple!) carrots, aubergines, broccoli and walking stick cabbages (cabbages growing on the end of the 2m stick!).

This year, Paul has got involved and constructed a raised bed filled with compost and manure, in an attempt to combat problems of soil depth and poor soil quality, as well as a frame to support sugar snaps peas. Rachel has also been growing rocket, radishes, parsnips, purple carrots, beetroot, butternut squash, lettuces, tomatoes and aubergines as well as a variety of different herbs, such as basil, coriander, oregano, sage and parsley.

You can see the progress during the previous twelve months below!
