Dry bed and tiled edges

I've been trying to figure out where to plant a sedum I bought a while back and stumbled across an area in the flower bed next to the polytunnel, it's still a work in progress but I planted a creeping thyme and stonecrop too, the humble beginnings of a dry bed complete with a pair of old boots planted up with a colony of sempervivums. The boots incidentally were found in the little shed on our first plot, left by its previous owner, the planting up being an homage to his efforts.



I also built this raised edge below, so that the leeks could go in undisturbed by the sloping soil level. I used some lovely old roof tiles left on the swap table, I'm gonna do this around other edges that need soil retained.
