The 'Before' photo:
It appears we only work on this bed when it's very hot. It's been a very warm few days, and we've finished constructing the bed: I turned to soil on Friday, before building the bed on Saturday, when we also started to fill it (a couple of turf stacks that needed a home, and a few barrows of topsoil: more to follow).
The turves cut, and turned.
The posts in.
The boards attached, and soil levelled, ready for topping up.
I've also mown the lawn, and Liz has done a huge amount of weeding: the kitchen garden is really clear, and the front garden's been tidied, too. We've also lifted the first couple of onions (both Autumn Gold), which have weighed in at about 100–200 g. Very tasty, too. The crop should be ready in the next few weeks, and the foliage has started to yellow.
