Longbottom Leaf?

 


That's this one finished for the time being.
The beds are for the growing of tobacco plants but
despite several tries, I've not come up with 
anything resembling the real thing.


The metal stove pipe on the roof of the 'shed'
is not the final version.
Too large and the rust is not very good.
FutureForgeonline do a very good one 
but that awaits a larger order.
The shed is where he dries the tobacco leaves.

Raised beds etc



Top soil has arrived


though the little hillock at the rear is still bare.


It was awaiting a rather nice twisted root.


You can see it at the back of the main hill.
I regret not putting it in a better position.


Fences and raised beds constructed.
The fence in the foreground above is too sturdy.
I used slices of wooden bread baskets for the improved versions.


Fences are up and raised beds glued down.
