Big Day in the Garden

We've now got three raised beds planted and a fourth under construction. Whoo-hoo. All thanks to Best Beloved being in garden-builder mode and having some woodwormy joists spare from the barn renovation. The wood's definitely not fit to re-use for building (even if it has been treated) but it's fine for the garden. BB's happy to make new things, but less happy to maintain what's growing in them. Fair enough. I figure I can do the maintenance stuff.

The plan is to have a small but regular supply of vegetables from the garden from summer onwards. I'd like to grow fruit as well, but apart from the rhubarb (which has yielded another 3 lbs today) and four new strawberry plants, the fruit might have to wait until next year
