Check out Highgrove House for sheer compost pile envy--just remember that the prince has an army of staff. I fully expect to be very envious of your raised beds and greenhouse efforts, living shaded by the surrounding woods as I do. You get sun! When Spring finally comes here (the May 24th weekend is our safe planting date), I have some major work to do with my currently frozen solid compost bins. I do like the look of your raised beds and hope they acquire a lovely patina. Your post has my sap running for Spring!
