Shelves are now levelled and filled with all my mint varieties and some other herbs.
Very exciting having a bit more of the veg garden in place.

Starting to look more like a polytunnel
I’ve been collecting stones from all round the garden. I need a lot more. But it’s a start.
I wouldn’t have collected half that amount without skews help. I’d start picking stones off the surface and skew would start digging. I got loads more thanks to my little digger dog . I need the stones to go all around the outside the tunnel as paths and to hold down the excess plastic at the bottom of the tunnel. I don’t cut it off because it stops drafts and weeds. Also reduces easy access for little furry critters.

We covered the polytunnel today. The friends that are staying helped. It’s very exciting. Just got to work out how things will go inside and put blinds on the doors.
I can’t stress strongly enough. Taking the advice of all polytunnel companies everywhere, is a very good idea. Not to try covering the tunnel on a windy day . It made it more exciting at times .

I have a Mary Poppins image of you and your friends drifting out over the sea, hanging from your polytunnel.
Looks great.

A day of levelling beds. Quite a lot of levelling was needed
The finished layout. Just got to fill all the beds now.
Bob moving some peat up to the top of the garden for me.

Daft question! Can you mix your "peat" with the bought "peatfree" compost, or isn't it the right sort of peat?
