sweet potato.

Oakleaf Lettuces are self seeding in the terraces. |

| These
exclusion cages were made by Heyo from hail proofing
and timber. They prevent cross-pollination between
varieties of the same crop. |
|
Broad
ripple yellow currant tomatoes have perennialised
themselves through self-seeding and are a sweet addition
to salads. |

establishment of the terraced gardens began with the
marking out the beds and pathways. |
