Building the form for the foundation

The bags of concrete and hard pack arrived the other day, so we need to get a move on and build this foundation so we can build the greenhouse! As it was my last Friday off in June, we got straight to it and worked all day.

It was a long and arduous task to build this stinking form! We got there in the end with the help of some old cricket sticks and the floorboards from our bedroom that got pulled up about 5 years ago. Nice to put this scrap wood to use! Tomorrow we will tackle the concrete pouring since we were able to borrow Martin's mixer for the weekend. 
Meanwhile, the garden. The courgette and butternut squash plants sure aren't too eager to crawl up the beautiful pallet I laid for them! Come on little guys, grow!
The runner beans, brussels, chard and peas are all coming along nicely though.
