Preparing the East-end Courtyard Garden Bed

This weekend we wanted to get the two new garden beds (that we cut out last weekend) properly prepared for plants. This meant more digging, more lifting, and a few more arguments.
During the week I lifted out all the rubble in this garden bed. Today carmine got out the angle grinder and cut out all the reinforced wire that was at the bottom of the bed.

Then there was a alot of digging to till and airate the soil. Tough work but we got there in the end.

Then we decided to transplant a huge clump of Agapanthas from the front yard into the garden bed. It was such hard work and the results were...well...pretty disappointing. They look leggy and unattractive. Our plan had been to transplant the masses of agapathas from the front gardens into other garden bed to help provide greenery for the first 12 months or so until other plants have grown enough to look like something. But after transplanting these yesterday, I think we've changed our mind.
