From plans ...
... to the lengthy task of removing turf ...
... that seemed to go on forever ...
... to recreating the space ...
The first two raised beds have been installed (albeit the dimensions have been modified to incorporate the raised bed kits), the rounded sleepers are in place for the fruit tree beds and the permeable membrane laid to control the weeds beneath the wood-chip paths means that this kitchen garden is now really starting to take shape. And new opportunities to fully utilise the space are presenting themselves. With the decrease in length of the raised and raspberry beds it enables the introduction of a low planter near the hedge to dedicate to strawberries and blueberries too.
Raspberry beds to edge with rounded sleepers yet to be bedded in, extra raised bed to be installed, wood-chip to be spread on the paths before the real fun begins ... planting the fruit trees, rhubarb crowns and raspberry canes.
