Raised bed

I spent a pleasant few hours on Sunday afternoon listening to the cricket whilst I constructed a raised bed in the back garden, so I can grow a few veggies at home. It's eight feet long by two and a half feet wide (i.e. long and thin!) but it will allow me to grow a few bits and bobs, especially if I adopt the Square Foot Gardening approach.

I'll post a photo when it stops raining long enough to take one, but it's quite basic, made from gravel boards and wooden stakes for strength. Building the thing was easy, getting it level(ish) then filling it with soil was the hard bit. I could hardly move when I tried to get out of bed this morning!
