By the end of last month, the paving was finished and I had planted my three front garden planters with peppers, bergamot and salvias for the summer. They’re coming along very nicely, and in fact the first cool chilli is appearing on one of my Fooled You plants.
Ryan then ordered kits to make 12 raised beds out of (eco) treated sleepers, and whilst waiting for them to arrived prepared half of of the garden by rotovating what was once scraggy lawn and was then a staging area for the pavers. Yesterday he enlisted the help of his dad to assemble 6 of the raised beds:
My job was mainly to provide refreshments, and step in occasionally when an extra pair of hands made things easier. Now it’s over to me, to order a soil/compost mix to fill them, and then plant them up! However, that’s still only half the garden, so there’s still some way to go!
