I thought I posted this last autumn, but evidently not!
We managed to get two raised beds built, and one filled up with soil and compost, despite the awfully wet autumn we had. The filled bed is now planted with garlic and salad leaves (lamb's lettuce, Winter Density lettuce and various oriental leaves) and covered in Thermacrop. The salad is all growing well, but I'm hoping it'll put on a spurt of growth once it gets warmer and lighter and help fill the hungry gap.
Now we just have to wait (somewhat impatiently) for an installation date from our conservatory builders!
