end of 7 days of non-stop activity in the veg patch after nearly 6 months of neglect!

Mon - dug over half bed apprx 30 sq mtrs and thoroughly weeded on hands and kness all day!

Tues - shredded a large fur tree that came down in the March storms - plenty of chippings now

Weds - dug over the other half of the veg patch - again approx 30 sq mtrs - planted new Rhubarb crown and six Asparagus crowns ( in tubs - see how that goes) - Purchased a 6 bird hen house!

Thurs -weeded the area dug over yesterday - well half of it. Got the bean canes up - order new fruit cage

Fri - weeded the other half of what was left - planted a 4 mtr row of garlic bulbs - i know its a bit late but.........

Sat -Built myself 2 compost bins from reclaimed pallets, each about 1m cubed. Also found some old broken paving slabs in the undergrowth - perfect for step ways through the veg bed.


I had to go away on business at the start of the year and didn't get back to UK until last w/e in March and therefore very very late on everything. However I have got the sprouts (Red and Green), Cabbage (Red and White), Onions, Leeks, Courgettes, S/Corn, BN Squash, R/Beans, F/Beans, Mange Tout, Broco, Calabrese in propogators in the GH.
