    Hi WOO

    Do you mind me asking what plants you have growing in your raised bed? I don't recognise anything unless it's in flower! Looks like you have a bleeding heart in there but can't make out any of the others.:confused:

    Have you chosen the beds by colour scheme or for time of flowering?

    Looks a great kind of gardening for the bad back... may give it a try - but I bet the slugs like those tender young plants! I guess chicken wire wouldn't keep them away - unless you get some really massive slugs down your way!!!:eek:
    Sorry for being nosey - just interested in your choice of plants. Can't wait to see these beds in full swing later in the season! :thumb:

    :cool:Thank you Shiney ,Helen and Cookie,Shiney I just love your sense of Humour :D But the wire is to keep my Family of Foxes out as in April and May they fall in love and start breeding and then go crazy digging everything up:) Helen what can I say but thank you for your kind words:) Cookie
    In the first Bed are Strawberries just love them with cream ,
    In the second Bed are Little gem Lettuce,Spring onions Then Beetroot and Radishes.
    The third Bed there are Three Bleeding hearts, Two Hollyhocks(chaters Red) Two Fuchsia's both (Mrs Popple and Genii) both hardy,Some Gazania(Sunshine mix)I tend to use this as a nursery bed as well as a border ,Removing some of the Plants to other places and leaving some there,

    I mainly plant for colour the more vibrant the better I just love Loud colours.:):cool:

    All sounds absolutely yummy WOO!

    I bet there is nowt to compare with home-grown food.

    And the colours will surely be fantastic in the 3rd one.

    Great stuff wise one!

    Hoi Woo,love your raised beds.I wish I could sow my seeds as straight as an arrow like yours:)Mine usually comes out 'S' shaped over at the allotment and that is with using a guide line:rolleyes:

    I bet you will enjoy those strawberries with the cream when they ripen.I like mine with Cornish Ice Cream:)

    Hope you get some photos of young foxes when they come into your garden when they come out of the den in a few months time:D
