Gardening Update




So, this seems like as good a place as any to record what goes on. Then hopefully I'll remember some of it for next year...
We've been down every weekend so far, caved in and used mechanical assistance to dig the rest of the plot, weeds absolutely everywhere but at least you can get a spade in the ground!
Its hard to think back now we have done so much, but the main things are bordering the 1st four beds with planks of wood, digging and weeding them, burning off a huge pile of weeds and rubbish from one corner, building a raised box for strawberries, pikeying an unwanted bath for temporary water storage, digging in lots of poo to the general mud, and of course, planting some seeds!! All in all, a busy time trying to get enough space ready to begin planting. Obviously I want to split the veg up as much as possible to allow for crop rotation etc next year, so need lots of space. Also have far too many seeds this year, so just trialling lots of varieties to see what happens. Here's some pics of what will be going into the ground as soon as I get my nerves up to plant out my babies!
