Veg Patch

We’ve bought some big fat beams from a local timber merchant to shore up the raised vegetable patch, and will divide it into two at the same time.

The timber was deposited on the drive on Monday and when I got home I sealed the cut ends and set about laying them out around the existing boarding. By the time it got dark I had laid out the smaller bed, and on Wednesday I started on the longer bed. I had to be careful not to disturb the 2nd season Asparagus, which has just poked up out of the soil.

The wonderful Magnolia is also blooming at the moment – it’s such a shame it will only last a few days…!
