Earth works

We’ve been busy. The time has come to make a few “adjustments” to my garden.

Previously I had a green house, and one long outside garden bed. The other side of the fenced garden I edged with tyres and planted  berry fruit, but it never really worked the way I wanted it to. Last year Thor bought some top soil, and then some power poles, to eventually make a proper garden bed on the north side of the garden.

This is what the garden looks like at the moment. The tyres removed, the berry fruit relocated (black and red currants, gooseberries, black, red and white raspberries.) and the power poles cut in half and being put in place as a retaining wall.

The retaining wall is three poles high in the middle and two poles high at each end, so the large bed will end up being terraced to some extent.  There is a lot of dirt there already, although there is a bit of work involved to spread it out.

The berries have been put in the corner by the shed in the meantime, but I had thought that this would be my herb garden, so I don’t think they’ll be staying here long term.

I’m looking forward to being able to plant out the garden… some corn…and beans…and spuds…and pumpkin…Yep.
