Brick Raised Beds Update

This winter I built 4 brick raised beds.


It took a bit of time...


... but we got there before spring sprung.




Here's how it looks today:


Right now the brassicas are ready for transplanting,



 
All except the Pak Choi which doesn't like to be moved.


(Tany, last year my pak choi at the allotment all bolted.  It seems it likes pampering, Lots of fertility and lots of water.  Temperature not too hot -  like a Scottish spring)

The herb and salad beds have been a roaring success too, but the asparagus was a complete failure, producing just one viable plant. No problem: Now I've got room for my outdoor cucumber tomatoes and courgettes.
