Raised Bed II

We have now filled the raised bed and now planted up with salad (lettuce, parsley, chives, salad onions) and sowed some mizuna:

In the end the bed was largely filled with the soil that was removed before (which had already been improved for lawn) with 3 bags of compost to lighten the texture a little. Will need to make an enviromesh cover for the mizuna as flea beetles love them (though we may also try some companion planting.) Hopefully with the salad growing over the summer we should stop needing to buy any from the supermarket - we shall see....
