Another milestone in the garden department. I have my first raised bed in the veg garden.
[attachment=8090] This is ridiculously exciting.
This is the smallest of all my veg beds at 2.4m x 1.1m .
Tomorrow if the weather plays nice (hopefully) I just have to dig the turf out . Put weed fabric around the outside. Then fill it!

A bed with a view!
Do you need to dig the turf out? I think I'd be lazy and just stick some cardboard at the bottom.

Finished filling my first veg bed. Hopefully the wind break will help protect my crops a little. It’s covered until it’s needed. Which won’t be long. As the seedlings destined for there are growing nicely. [attachment=8117]
