I have converted part of the flower boarder close to the house into a small raised bed. It is constructed out of found ‘stuff’ from round the garden and house. The wood for the sides is made from a long old oak board, possibly from the house that used to sit in the garden, and two pieces left over from shelving, the sides are secured in place with sawn up poles from a redundant Habitat wardrobe and some cane hoops that last year supported the Delphiniums. I have used canes found in the railway carriage for the back and stout twigs for all other stakes. The compost is sadly bought and the string is not string as over Winter it vanished and is probably shacked up with all the missing odd socks. I have use plastic wires to line up the veggies and netting bought many moons ago to protect it all from those pesky birds and cats. The veg. are French beans at the back, a bit early but I have also planted some seeds between them for later plants and have a few more to plant out that are currently living in the sun shelter. In rows from the left are Carrots, purple ones, onions and 3 La Ratte potatoes.
