Today is the day the Timber and the Top Soil were being delivered, so I decided to take the
day off work just to make sure everything got here ok. . in true fashion everything arrived at the same time! 2 lorries parked
outside the front!! wonder what my neighbours thought..
The good thing was the deliveries arrived at 8.30am which gave me the rest of the day to move
the timber round to the back garden and potter around.
I guess the initial outlay was expensive but I will now have 3 really nice vegetable beds with
good quality top soil.

Went up to our friends house to collect another landie full of stone chippings for the back
garden. We are now starting the next phase of making the garden better before next winter sets in as our back
garden's been a total mess this winter due to the vast amounts of rain that has fallen...
Wednesday 21st February 2007.
Is the day we take delivery of the sharp sand and gravel and cement.. i've no ideas of the quantities
involved, but this will be used to make a concrete base for the new greenhouse.
I have asked robin to make it big enough so that i can walk all the way round it for cleaning
purposes, plus somewhere to put my big pots that the potatoes will be growing in .. I'll post pictures at the weekend of the
progress as thats when we are starting the project.. weather dependent of course..
