We really like the raised beds too but not the maintenance that comes with them. The new metal ones we had last year seem to be lasting well so hopefully they should be maintenance free. Iām hoping a break from all that is going on next week and maybe a bit of sunshine will help with finding my mojo. You take care too šCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755023281455689775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936759459914504763.post-84040536147118874802022-03-13T20:59:38.388+00:002022-03-13T20:59:38.388+00:00We do keep saying we are not going to have anythin...We do keep saying we are not going to have anything else in the garden made of would as it needs so much maintenance ā¦ but we keep succumbing The garden is just starting to come back to life ā¦ another month and it will start to look more like the garden we know and love.

I do like your raised bed and our veg ones need redoing & I've a few ideas too. I also love fresh flowers inside.

I bet your garden is looking so spring like now - it is nice to see a bit of colour inside and out.wherethejourneytakesme2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01331935561823130257noreply@blogger.com
