    Especially for AP and BM, here is a wee update photo. It has just started raining, so I thought that water plus leccy wasn't a good idea and abandoned in favour of a cuppa.

      Just so you get an idea of how big this is, I am 5' 6" and can lay down in it with a bit to spare

      Decided it is my resting place when I pop off
      When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
      If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

              Is this some new way of growing from cuttings?

                      Instead of a mattress put some muck in then you'd have a hot bed

                        Looking great but why did you lift the paving stones?

                          OITC is pushing z's

                          The slabs are left over from laying the patio last year. The intent was to put the spares in front of the shed and stand pots on them. The bit where the cold frame is was going to be used as a herb bed but we changed our minds. The slabs will most likely go there now under the frame, I will have to shift the soil first though.
