Well the raised beds are done and we got quite a production line going! Hubby had worked out in advance how he was going to make them and so once we had cut up all the wood and made the first one, we got the hang of it. They were really heavy though - if you imagine each box was 5' x 3' 6" x 9" and to make one bed, we stacked one on top of another and fixed them together. So we made 10 boxes altogether = 5 raised beds. Then we had to level the garden area where the boxes were going to be sited.
We did it in one day but were exhausted the next day and now hubby's back is suffering. MIL hasn't ordered the soil yet but has someone in mind to fill them.
She was thrilled with them and is looking forward to sowing seeds and not having to bend to look after them
We did manage a visit to West Bay one evening and hubby took some lovely sunset photos.
