Allotment Week - Day 5 - Complete

Well the final touches were put into the raised flower bed. Wife gets to see the full effect tomorrow. Could have finished it yesterday but the wind and cold was just a bit too much.

And once again I went scavenging through the trash pile. Somebody threw out bags of leaves and grass clippings. Seriously? Don't they know that sort of stuff makes excellent compost? Oh look, I have a nice new flower bed just waiting for stuff like this.

The leaves and clippings just about filled up to halfway across the very back of the bed. Obviously it'll squash down once we start putting soil/compost in there, but they'll certainly breakdown over time and provide nutrients for the flowers. All the daffs will go across the back, so I think they'll be off to a good start. We'll be planting them tomorrow.
