Life just has a habit of thowing stuff at you.

So, here was the plan,
1. Buy two more bins and put them together for 2 more gardens.
Check
2. put some cardboard down to kill the weeds.
Check
3. Get No1 son to take a day off work, organise the soil and put it in.
NO!

Sadly we had a phone call and had to take our son to hospital.  He had put his hand in a food processor.  The kitchen was like a crime scene, now I know what them mean by blood droplets.  Anyway, food processor vs. man...... man lost.

Next day, off to the hand hospital - who knew we had one!  There they did an operation to fix the damage.  There will be no moving of soil this year.  Way too much of an infection risk.  We will have to wait until winter to fill the bins as my husband can't do it on his own, and I can't help as I have damaged my shoulder recently.  The physio would have a fit if I started shifting soil.

So, plan B.

1. buy some compost and manure to top up the existing beds
2. Take out any current leeks and broccoli left growing.
3. top up the beds and plant tomatoes
4. In the other bed, put in peas, cram in some lettuce and cucumbers.
5. Buy bags of soil for the pots I have bought, and send off for the plants I want to extend the potted herb garden.
6. Plant the herbs in the pots.
7. Maybe buy some plastic bags/pots and soil for growing some of the other vegies I would like to try.

That will have to do this summer.
