23rd August 2021, Now for the next project
With the paint hardly dry (so to speak), the next project looms. The raw materials present themselves here and armed with a tape measure, a hand saw and a mallet (plus pallets), away we go. What is it that is being created here?
This little area where the compost bins exist is transformed (at least temporarily) into a working space. It has become a plant nursery, a repository for spare dug-out earth and a store for spare tomatoes (now suffering with blight too).
The second picture shows where the work area is, now late afternoon and shadows already appearing in the late summer sun. We are now using the terrace for our rest area and tea, along with it being a dry area to put things down while we work on the plot.
It seems that the plants do like the raised bed as much as we do! The Passiflora is making great strides, the Marigolds are beginning their advance and the Mallows (pink flowers) are starting to flower too. It will be pretty as a picture soon, I am sure of it. Other photos will follow as things bloom here.
