New raised beds and items from a salvage yard.

you have been busy..love all the recycling...maybe make a pond garden in the tank...

The old water tank will get used for plunging my water can in. Previously I used it for keeping my equisetum in.

I want bees, chickens, pigs and plenty of land to keep them all, then I will be well on my way to being self sufficent.

A really good use of space, you`ve given me an idea. :o)

I'll bet most gardeners have a space like that behind the shed. You've made good use of it.

you have done a good job with your raised beds ,good luck with all your planting ,what is the metal thing in next to last pic ? :o)

Its an old pavement drain from Torquay.

could be an antique lol :o)

Be interesting to see what you use the drain for. ..My cubby space is at the back of my conifers behind my bottom pond, it hides two compost bins and last year I had two tubs of potatoes and some really good runner beans out of that area, I empty the bins and turn the compost twice a year so consequently that piece of ground gets a lot of homemade good stuff.
Maybe I should chat nicely to hubby ,show him your pics and perhaps I `ll get a raised bed or two..Its all your fault T&ts ,I` m now wondering where to move my compost bins to....lol.........

i have a narror space but not enough to get behind, wish hubby had placed the shed right up to fence then i would have had more room at front, oh well! you did well with your new items and raised beds :o))

That is a good way of utilising your spare space.I purposely wanted extra space at the back of our shed,as I have my compost bin and a water butt,as its only a small garden,I didn't want to use valuable space.Its on the longest side of the shed,so fixed guttering to both back and front,and have a water butt on both.Its also easy for painting the shed too...and hiding behind....Lol.

do you often hide behind your shed bloomer lol :o))

i hide behind the polytunnel...he he he

lol sandra,,

Lol, nobody can see me in my cubby and when turning my compost you could say I`m happy as a pig in muck...........

ha ha lincs :o) i dont have anywhere i can hide :o((

Sometimes,Joanella...Cold callers especially,trying to sell me double glazing,when the house is already fully done,...:o))and some other things,like a nosey neighbour who I can see long before he gets here,and is always on the scrounge,as he never wants to buy his own...wouldn't mind ,but is loaded,thats why he is, probably.ha ha
Sandra..we need a hiding space sometimes,don't we?..or just some privacy...
Lincslass.. a girl after my own heart,my sentiments exactly....:o))

lol bout the neighbour bloomer,i used to have one who sent her 3 children to borrow from different neighbours,one for bread one for eggs one for potatoes till we all twigged we were giving her a meal between us a few nights a week,some people are cheeky :o)

Ha ha,Joanella,that was a bit much.I don't begrudge giving,or helping someone out,but it sometimes gets taken for granted,and that IS cheeky,I agree....

we learn ;o)

I love all the items you find and use. was that bucket an old coal scuttle?

It was an old cooking pot, it has a couple of markings on it. One says Empire the other is unrecognisable.
Its going to have lettuce growing in it. Currently seedlings in the greenhouse.
