Photo update from Sat 21

Photos show the new paved area, the start of my digging around the fruit bed and the replanting of one of my gooseberry bushes.

Path finished

Today I finished the path at the allotment. Photos will follow. I also planted out some garlic, not too hopefull aa it should have gone out in November really. Started digging over the fruit bed area and moved one of the gooseberry bushes and de-weeded it as well.

All in all a lovely day to be outside and at the plot. I was joined my my 2 eldest as well and they enjoyed breaking up some of the crazy paving with a hammer. In fact, they enjoyed it a little too much...

Will post photos later this week

Hard Landscaping

This afternoon was mainly hard landscaping at the allotment.  I am trying to sort out the bottom right corner as it regularly gets wet and boggy.  I am using the crazy paving I found at home under the front garden to have a solid path or area.  Also created a small cold frame just with bricks and an old window at the moment - It might be the first of a few in that area.
As well as the paved area I also spent some time moving strawberries from one bed to another - the current bed has got a bit of a couch grass problem and needs digging over.  Hoping to get down there tomorrow as well to finish off the path.
