You are gonna need a few barrows of soil to fill that bed Phil.
Looking forward to seeing it finished and planted by the end of the week.  ;D

Yes, needs a lot of soil to fill that bed, but it is going to be well worth it.
Looking forward to seeing how it progresses, Phil

 :o end of week, not sure about that, at the moment my trailer is being filled up with horse muck when stables are cleaned out, that will go into bed then when i have a digger, ( wheelbarrow  ;D ) it will then get filled up with soil and left to settle, hopefully have some plants in it end of year  ::)

have been a busy little beaver and started to plant up the big hole  ;D with plants grown from seed and the hibiscus i bought from lidl ( which the german shepherd thought was fair game and decided to give it a chew and a shake)

Things have gone on really well the front bed is nearly planted up with 1 off each of the grass's i grew from seed plus  a couple of shrubs, still got some more to put in yet after first frost, i have labeled each plant using t bed labels and my brother printer
The bed so far


One of the plants showing the name label


The hardest part to photograph is the plant with the label all in focus, the label has to be level with the plant for some reason otherwise the plant label is out of focus but the plant is not, an example is this one


I dont tend to go out photgraphing thing so i am not really that good at photography
