Today I dug over all of the raised beds except the Strawberry bed - which still needs weeding - in preparation for planting out the potato's. As you can see from this picture, there are now 6 beds - the 2 nearest the camera are the 2 I have recently added - they both need some compost / top soil and manure to finish them off. So today as well as that I did a little tidying as well and will hopefully start planting some seeds this week - It is already middle of march and am a little late on that.
These are the 2 new seed beds I have created - 2/3 inches deep and filled with lovely compost / soil and soil improver they will hopefully produce good seedlings to plant on else where. I am going to put some cloches over them to warm the soil and hopefully start a little early planting out. You can also see the new rhubarb which will hopefully do well!
This is the start of a new path - I got the slabs from a church and am now beginning to start laying them and having better paths. This will hopefully stop weeds from being as much as a problem and also make it less muddy when it rains. Should also start it looking better as well - One day I will win prizes!
And lastly today, we, or Anne, started to plant out the onions. We got 3 small rows done before the little boy started yelling and it was time to go home.
Jobs to do:- Complete planting out of onions
- dig over and rotavate middle bed - it is a mess
- Buy and plant seeds for the coming year
- Tidy the chest shed.
- New gravel for the 'greenhouse base' to make it sit-able on and bring down chairs and move the sand pit for the boys
