Well, almost 8 hours at the allotment today and got a lot done!! Have almost fully dug over the middle large bed - ouch! Now ready for rotavating / tilling next weekend. Planted around 130 onions and some shallots. Still have another 80 to go in tomorrow. Anne spent some time weeding and sorting out the strawberry bed and we had our first picnic lunch with the 3 boys - a little chilly though.I then went to B and Q to get a few more onions and some brackets for a raised bed. When I came back the bloke next to us gave me 12 raspberry canes, 2 gooseberry bushes and a blackcurrant bush along with around 12 strawberry plants. Soft fruit here we come! So i dug over part of another bed and planted the raspberry canes today - with some compost to get them going.
Jobs still to do
- Plant some seeds! Tonights job is to sort out what to plant.
- Still need to tidy the chest shed
- Rotavate the beds (Will prob do next weekend)
- Tidy the roses bed - weed and mulch / put down some wood chip.
