More edging

I'm edging around the garden, doing the edges of greatest need.  The turn today was the one in front of the vegetable garden. I also laid some pavier bricks to make it easier to mow around the edge of the vegetable garden.

H has been keeping me company and made a little enclosure for insects.

Lawn Edging

Before

Digging a trench takes longer but is much the best with this stuff
Then you lay it out
Bang in a nail every 2 or 3 "A"s - if they don't go in I just try at a different angle
Help is useful
Finished

Spring 2013, here we go again.

Finally the Sun comes out and sucks us in to the garden.  Lots of tidying up to do.  No photos of my completely sorting out the steps to the garden but they look an awful lot better.
Harriet was a brilliant help.  Here she is clearing the bottom of the wisteria.

Job done!

My traditional "first day of Spring" job of rotating the compost heap.

Tying this in savaged my forearms but it is now tied in.  You can see the swept terrace here.

The small trampoline has been dismantled and offered to a friend.
