We have a retaining wall in our garden and unfortunately it's crumbling and unsafe. We've started removing the wobbly bricks from the top, digging the soil back and... taking the extra soil further up the garden. The bricks we're removing will form part of the fill for an extension on our concrete platform at the top of the garden. We're saving and reusing everything we can. This includes buckets of shale that was surrounding the retailing wall. I'm sure we'll find a use for it at some point!
Rather a lovely, clear day today so we planted the three champagne rhubarb crowns out in our garden. We bought them a couple of weeks ago online. When we googled it, we are supposed to dig in a load of manure. We don't tend to have manure to hand... so we just dug in some bags of compost, planted the crowns and hoped for the best! Three seems quite a lot and it's recommended that you leave a minimum of 75cm between them, so that's quite a lot of space on rhubarb. I'm guessing not all three will make it though! I guess we'll find out in the Spring...
