Vegetable update

The raised wicking beds we put in our garden a few years ago continue to be really productive. They've been topped up with horse poo (we have an endless supply courtesy of Audrey's riding school) and this summer we're growing tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, green beans and potatoes.

I think one has developed a bit of a 'leak' which means the water doesn't reach the end of the bed as it should so I may take it apart in the winter and re-configure it. They've been so good though and with Canberra's hot summers I always advocate wicking beds to people rather than beds with top watering systems.
