Along
with the green trolley my grandfather made, were 4 plastic tubs and a
broken kitchen table. Regular readers may recall that I used the old
kitchen table and some plastic storage tubs to create a 'raised bed'
for my father, the avid gardener, when his mobility deteriorated.
Since he passed away, there has been no need for 'raised beds' and I
took advantage of a tip-trip drive a friend offered to get rid of
the past.
Also
on the above picture, you can see green netting - this was what was
placed above the foot high brick wall and tied into place with green
wire to act as a garden fence. Since winds a few years ago blew it to
bits, it had just sat there, broken... I preferred to have just the
wall, so ripped down the fence at the same time as emptying a third
of the poly tunnel.
Here
you can see the brick wall without the messy broken plastic green
netting fence - and the front yard with the soil from the tubs,
instead of the tubs on a broken kitchen table. In spring, I hope to
level off the soil, remove weeds, and begin to grow what I choose in
the front - and back - yards. Now, we can progress into winter
2013/14...
