Finally back in the garden!

Last weekend was a complete write off. Tamsin horizontal, feeling awful and me under the weather and juggling three kids. It also lashed down all Sunday. Not good, especially with me back at school.

But in the last couple of days of the long holiday I did manage to finish the steps and get the raised beds in situ.


I made it level using the soil dug out from behind the steps, and the bargain basement laser level from screwfix ;)





We have also eaten some of Tamsin's multi-coloured carrots. Poor crop this year though. I think there were only two, so they had to go a long way.


This weekend we got a fair bit done too around managing the kids and catching up with sleep. It is not often you get "before and after" in the same shot, but I managed it in this one. Finally I got round to clipping the front hedge.




And the finished article:



The best things in the vegetable garden are the carrots and the squash. Elizabeth was practising her photography skills with these today.
