The garden from scratch

Some before and after pictures.
I forgot to take the before photo until after I’d finished moving things and strimming it all.
This is the cottage garden this morning.

         

This is what it looks like this afternoon. 5 more beds have been outlined.

         

One of the beds is a little difficult to see in photos. It just looks like a patch of freshly turned (badly) earth . Under the living part of the holly tree. 

As always if I’m digging, skew is digging   

   

Are you sticking faithfully to your plan?

Are you sticking faithfully to your plan?

Overall design yeah pretty much. Rock edges , gravel paths, at least one perennial, herb, shrub, variety of bulbs in each bed. Actual layout was never written in stone. I tried drawing a plan of where all the beds were going yesterday. It didn’t go well! So today I drew out the beds on the ground with a marker spray can. Then adjusted again when it came to actually digging, where needed. Several times in a couple of cases     . My back and my shoulder are now well aware of my indecisiveness
