The plan this last week was to get bed two set up ready for planting, along with moving bed three (the previous herb bed) into position next to it. This meant transplanting the herbs into troughs and into a small bed under the kitchen window, as well as moving and sieving all the soil into bed two. We had a glorious day on Thursday and I managed to get going with moving enough soil to fill bed two. Unfortunately the weekend weather, although better than expected wasn't good enough for us to finish the task and bed three remains in it original position for now.
Keeping Tulip out of the beds is a constant battle, the sticks laid out do not deter her.
