A smallholding revisited part 3: The vegetable plot and orchard

Following on from the ‘then and now’ visit to the smallholding we used to run, here are some photos around the vegetable plot and orchard which includes the polytunnels and potting shed:

View past the barn to the long polytunnel around 2003
And a similar view in 2022. It is gratifying the the polytunnel we erected still stands after 20+ years
This is the potting shed as new around 2002
And as it is now
This shows the 2 polytunnels around 2002-3 with part of the vegetable plot
This is the current view. The old polytunnel on the right, which was old when we moved in is now a wire-covered chicken run
I made this useful trailer from an old caravan that was on the site
But it is now past its best…

One of the biggest changes was how the orchard has grown since we left:
