The Garden: Raised Vegetable Patch

(25/05/2015) It's a bank holiday Monday so in suburbia that means we're legally obliged to do some work in the garden. In preparation for our raised vegetable patch we've been doing some repairs to the wall and the slabs. This is what it looked like when we moved in:
