The veg bed
Vegetable bed
Last year's raised container beds, dug over into one vegetable bed beside the raspberry frame. They had been filled with compostables, hay included, so that is all in there now, with a layer of compost on top.
Raked level and planted the same day. First in: a few rows each of onions, shallots and garlic, watered in and netted over.
The path alongside has been laid with bark. The jostaberry has been planted out next to it.
