Photo showing a series of raised garden beds made from old wooden railway sleepers. This allotment vegetable garden is pictured at the end of the season, just after harvest time, when much of the soil has been dug over. Pictured is a bed filled with mature carrots and a separate herb garden, with a huge green sage bush (salvia officinalis) overflowing oven the edge of the timber. Bark mulch separates the various vegetable plots and creates pathways between the various crops.
