Allotment Week - Day 6 - Filling the bed

So today's the day when the wife got to see the new flower bed. Brownie points for me... she loves it. The first thing we did is started planting the daffodils.

We only did the very back of the bed. The rest of the bed will follow in the new year as we start getting things ramped up. We have all the seeds that we saved from the wildflower wheel barrow.

Meanwhile the willow that I scavenged from the waste area has not gone to waste. I wanted to make an archway leading into the flower bed. But unfortunately the willow is not pliable enough to be able to form on of sufficient height to allow people to walk underneath comfortably. So instead I opted to making a small willow fence between the water tank and the shed. It should stop the rhubarb from getting out of hand.

Tomorrow's weather forecast says that it's going to be chucking it down all day. So I guess this is the end of another Allotment Week.
