Frosty boards (for raised beds) laid out 16th January 2012

I suppose the frost on the beds will help kill any young weeds.Well what ever you plant the best of look Balcony. Look forward of seeing what ever you plant in the summer.

Kills the bugs too. Good looking allotment Balcony.

Looks neat :o)

@ Johnjoe: As I only put the boards out a week ago there are no weeds on them. I laid them out to see just how many I would need & to make room at the top of the allotment where I had them stacked while waiting for the many nails to be removed. As I removed the many nails from them I took them to their place. I've done all the boards now for the first 3 or 4 beds. Now I need to get them set up! I had hoped to do it during this week but between frosts & downpours of rain I've done nothing on the allotment since last Tuesday when I finished laying out the wood.

@ Lulu: as I said to Johnjoe above their are no weeds or bugs. This wood is completely clean. They came from some crates that had arrived from America only a week ago. Gerry & I picked them up on Friday & took them down to the allotment.

@ TT: Thanks. I'm doing my best to get it off to a good start. I hope I can keep it this way during the rest of the year.

gOOD LUCK WITH IT ALL :)

Thank you very much for your good wishes, Pixi! :-))

Gerry is going to cut some stakes for me so I can start to put the boards up. I can't possibly saw the stakes on the allotment, it really needs a power saw which I don't have or I'd do it myself.
