I saw a yellow chickadee, and thought of you! :-)

It is soooo cold here today
I need to get out of Melbourne and return to the warmth of Vanuatu

Have you girls considered raised flower beds. Easy to make and once you've done it, you just top up. Of course, if that's not allowed then, hey ho! I must go and top up my gardening thread! Thanks for reminding me!

I haven't done that, but sure does sound nice and less work. Is it, Hayles?

Hi Carol, how are you? This is kambal, the pamangkin of Tito Quake.

Four pieces of treated wood into a square, triangle, etc... staked if possible, and then fill with compost. Keep treating wood with preservative and should last a long time. Our veg garden is raised beds, less bending over if high enough and you could have seats on edges depending on thickness of wood. Loads of ideas. Preparation is key. Our beds were put in 2000 and still going strong with repairs when necessary. I painted them blue just to be different with grey gravel round the outside. Looked lovely. Fruit trees around the outside.

@Hayles. I don't know whether you can get it your side of the pond, but I use Western Red Cedar for gardening projects as it doesn't rot; no need for preservatives when you use that stuff.
