It's a bit drizzly, and the right time of year to do some preparation in the garden. I've placed the order for our embryonic forest garden at the garden centre, leaving them a list of about 20 species of trees that we'd like, to see how many they can find.
Meanwhile, we have two tiny Moringa saplings (barely 10cm tall) that will probably do a lot better out in the real world rather than in their yoghurt pots, so I set about building this little circular terraced bed to house the most robust specimen.

The end of day one - dry stone terrace in position.
A couple of days later, in between limewashing the house, the bed has been dug over, a raised mound constructed in the middle, the 'moat' filled with manure, covered with cardboard and wood chipped, and it's ready for planting.
Dave spotted this interesting butterfly eating one of our citrus trees.
