Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
We managed to acquire some wooden packing boxes that we have recycled as raised beds. These things cost a small fortune if you buy them from a garden centre. They are not made of impregnated wood, so we stand them on bricks - otherwise they would rot. We partially line the inside to keep the weeds out and retain some humidity. They are then filled with a mixture of soil, compost and peat. I use them mostly for lettuces and radishes, parsley etc as they are very effective at keeping out the bugs and the slugs.
