The circular bed in the veg patch

Work in progress, day one.

Circular bed  finally dug over and looking good

Digging over this circular bed in the centre of the veg patch  was harder than it looks! Nick Martin took on the challenge. The ground was so compacted that it took a couple of days to complete the job but now it is ready to plant up with segments of herbs next spring. 
The good folk from Writtle College set out and laid the circular bed back in the summer, click here to see that work in progress and compare with the finished effect. Together with the olive tree it will be a good focal point when the garden opens to the public on April 1st next year.
