latest raised bed in the garden

[mark smyth]

My hands are throbbing, my back hurts and I've got mild sciatica but the end will be good.

This is the newest raised bed in the garden. It replaces a small bed made to contain a running perennial Helianthus

The breeze blocks are only there to hold the 1 ton / 2,240 pounds / 1,016 kg of soil. Retaining walls of broken paving stones will be built soon

The bed is for my Dactylorhizas, Colchicums, Galanthus, Crocus and .......

no more bulbs in pots cluttering the back yard - I hope

I hear a little voice saying...Oh dear...Let me think! Did I really forget to tell you I wanted them in the opposite corner, in the end? They'd look so much nicer...OMG...I'm confused...Would you mind transfering? That would be soo nice of you...

Zepherine the only voice will be mine. Colchicums must be planted very soon.  Too many flower buds are up already

Looks very inviting, Mark - get stuck in!

[Ragged Robin]

Now you've made your bed you could lie in it Mark

The bed is planted and it's not big enough I have too many Dactylorhizas and Colchicums. No room from Crocus and other bulbs

Time for another bed!

Well Mark - you are going to the bulb sale are'nt you ?? 

[mark smyth]

It's more like Ebay here I come

For now I have very unnatural alternating rows of Dactylorhizas and Colchicums

Bravo Mark. You will have much pleasure with it
