Beginning our Vegetable Garden

Five raised beds for my first attempt at Vegetable gardening! The hard work of my hubby who slaved with a pick ax to loosen our hard pan earth. The rock pile is home to many small green frogs who have shown their faces this week after a long winter underground. The fence is lined with young lilacs, a patch of raspberries, one honeycomb buddleja and a mock orange tree. These are all so small now, but one day will provide some great privacy and a wildlife refuge.
