Another day another bed dug over. Today I suggested over the new raised bed we made earlier this week. Soil looking good and added manure as well.
The plot is looking better than it has for a long time. It will hopefully be a good year. I now need to go skip hunting and look for some nice wood to make another new raised bed and hopefully some paving slabs.
Will hopefully get down again this week...
Another beautiful day and another afternoon on the allotment. Basically the same as yesterday but started planning out a new raised bed.
Also weeded one of my raised beds. A lot of couch grass.
See what i get done the rest of halfterm
Had a lovely 3 hours at the allotment today with the whole family. We got a fair bit of digging done and tidied up the raspberry canes and black currents and gooseberries.
The boys enjoyed finding worms and the photo shows my youngest with one of the ones he found.
The ground was still wet but just about diggable. Looking forward to spending even more time there this week.
Potato's have been brought and are chitting. Lots of rubbish has been taken to the tip.
Now about to start halfterm and have a long list of jobs.
1. Dig over as much as i can
2. Prepare the way for a new front fence
3. Complete at least 1 new path
4. Manure beds
We'll see how far I get.
So i popped down to the allotment yesterday to check how wet it was and to begin planning the beds etc for this year. Took a few pictures so i can see the progress we make this year. The pile of wood is for a new fence.
Ground still quite wet but planning on doing a lot of clearing next week...
