The edible garden

After much discussion last year, SunnyJim suprised me one evening by arriving home with a kitset garden. After knocking it together in a matter of minutes, he then spent several weeks preparing the soil bed - layers of newspapers, seaweed collected from the beach, pea straw and compost. Once satisfied with the result, he packed me in the car and drove to the local garden centre where we spent a few enjoyable hours deciding what vegetables we would like to grow.
We are now harvesting the fruits of his labour. I’m so proud of him!
