Its probably windburn Fran. Try moving it to another position.

The whole garden is generally wind-free: I've got chimes out that have never made a sound! the fence behind the plant table was until recently screened, which must have cut down what did get in, and it's on the house side of the garden, so insulated by maybe four feet of other plants.

I'm not sure whether those plant tiers are such a good idea; might be for teeny plants, but there's not room on the inner edges for plants to spread; I try to remember to turn them now and then, because the inner side would never get what little sun arrives, or indeed much light at all.

I'm going to put another screen up when I get round to it, but that means moving all the plants so that I can move the tables so that I can get at the fence - not a job that can be quickly done, all in all! I want to make some smaller plant tables or benches to go along the wall, but again that's not a quick fix.

It takes time to get it how you want it but I know youll get there in the end Fran!

I have to keep reminding myself that I've not been gardening for even a whole year yet - at least, it was last April that I got the tables and started doing some serious work. So, for less than a year's work, I've not done too badly.
