Tell us about your garden and what you're growing

I have 6 3.5m x 1.5m raised beds, a 15m2 raised bed plus a large raised pumpkin patch, small asparagus and artichoke plots, a few new fruit trees, a berry cage, a bed for potatoes and yams and a small greenhouse. I grow all sorts of veggies year round but tend to keep a lot of brassicas and leeks going through the winter, and always around 20 silver beet plants growing to keep my chicken happy. I like trying to grow slightly unusual veggies like okra, peanuts and tomatillios.
