Work in progress

I've been struggling to cope with the garden (it's about half an acre) so eventually gave in and since the beginning of April I've now got a couple of gardeners coming in.  They've been coming only 3 weeks but it's made such a difference and it's given me the incentive (aka kick up the bum!) to get out there myself. 
Clive had a nursery when I first met him and knew exactly what he was doing so I never really learnt because I didn't have to. Now I  haven't a clue. There's a moral there people!! 
The gardeners were in at 8:30 this morning for a short while and returned this evening with quite a few plants they'd gathered for me during the day from other gardens (only plants that were unwanted/ being thrown out / had been sent by friends who the gardeners also visit).  
Here are three of the raised beds. Two are now cleared and ready for the next stage.
