vegetable garden

or lack thereof.

Finally got the husband to round up some dirt to top up my vegetable gardens.
I have four large troughs that form my vegetable beds. It was his idea, although I am still not sold on it being the best format for vegetables, they are in place and have worked well enough for the past two years. Apart from a nasty bug eating things, but that isn't the troughs fault!
Watering in the manure and hay mixture of dirt we (using the term loosely, he did topped them up when I was away on afternoon, which was rather good timing on my part!) topped the beds up with - once they've had a good watering I will turn and mix through the soil.

Hoping that I haven't left my planting run a little late; my next issue will be contending with the birds - that like to eat little seedlings....
