Bosun11 537 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 For the past two years, since we moved in, I've been trying to get my garden to resemble a garden. I did manage to get some spuds, carrots, runner and broad beans, rhubarb and rasberrys in last summer in a make shift patch but i've just 'aquired' some sleepers to make raised beds. My biggest issue is selecting a spot, from my now blank canvass of a garden, to put the beds down, forever after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
