In November I wrote about how we built a new raised bed in our front garden.

Spring has now arrived and the miniature daffodils (Narcissus “February Gold”) are now in flower, along with several Primula “Wanda” that I transplanted from the allotment. Everything planted last autumn has survived the winter, including some Pelargoniums I expected to be killed by frost within days or weeks of planting.

We are now planning two more raised beds: another one in the front garden and one (using new sleepers) in the back garden, as a herb bed.
