That's an excellent looking patch. I too had visions of a raised bed sort of setup but have happily gone without and not sure I'd bother now.

Cheers, I’ve only cleared half the plot as evidenced by the pile of weeds and roots which I stupidly started slap bang in the middle.
As picturesque as it is, I’m directly adjacent to the wild part which I fear means I’ll be struggling with badgers and other such visitors. Oh and twat kids who nicked some tools and threw the rest all over the shop.

I desperately wanted to get something in the ground this year having spent so much time clearing grass and brambles. I’ve sacked off the photogenic raised beds until next year… 100 seed potatoes (Charlotte and Desiree), 100 onion sets (Hercules and Sturon) and four bulbs worth of Cristo garlic.
Plan this week is to start the sweetcorn, broad bean, tomatillo and pumpkin seedlings.
I could feel the pigeons eyes baring down on me so I won’t plant the cauliflower or purple sprouting until I can thrift some chicken wire from my parents garden!
