So the time had come to pick our patch, and after a tiny bit of wandering around the car park, we settled on this one.

It had some very nice things going for it –
1. A view of the river.
2. A ledge for leaning on over Friday afternoon beers.
3. Close proximity to conveniently placed bench seats and umbrellas.

Having no real idea of what to plant where, thankfully (and to be honest, one of the very best reasons to sign up to the project) Matt from the Little Veggie Patch was on hand to help, telling us all the useful stuff such as:

– which of our chosen plants would benefit from the full sun (tomatoes and capsicum);
– which plants are the socialisers who like to grow in a group (corn);
– which plants are likely to get a bromance on (corn and beans); and
– which ones are likely to grow a little nuts and cover the carpark concrete under our feet (pumpkin).

Before we knew it, we had planted our vegetable garden.

Grow little garden, grow!
