Completed the 2nd new raised bed in between home schooling. Laid cardboard in the bottom (triple thickness), lined the sides with compost bags and filled it with homemade compost. I've now used all last year's compost I've been amazed how much there actually was. Forked up the new greenhouse compost base and tipped on 4 big bags of multipurpose to lightened the texture a bit then mixed it in, I have at last got use my new Wolf take and cultivator attachments I got for crimbo I'm very happy 😀😀
Painted the raised beds, fitted a fence across the end of the compost bins and painted it (Mrs Wilderbeast doesn't appreciate this area as much as me), cleared loads of general garden waste into the compost, finished forking over the greenhouse base and adding multipurpose compost, planted into bags my early potatoes, sowed a tray of boltardy beetroot, Lisbon spring onions and peas for shoots. Sowed 2 rows of carrots with radish added in. @GWRS pictures as promised
@tuikowhai34 Oh dear as a a hard nosed Yorkshire man I see being "flash" as a total fail 🤣🤣 Mrs Wilderbeast insisted on it being posh, I'd rather of had a plain aluminium greenhouse that was 8 ft longer and not bothered with all the black and finials.
That is some greenhouse @Wilderbeast 😁 if it keeps the wife happy then that's all to the good. You are ahead of me with the carrots and spring onions, but today in the conservatory planted three types of tomatoes, lettuce, two types of cucumber and some mini sunflower seeds. My potatoes are in there still chitting.
Just organising my seeds and trying to do a plan for sowing as I will be doing a production-line from windowsill to poly-house and then mostly to pots outside.
I repotted , at last, one of the 5 new Roses I bought in 2019, into a much larger fancy pot by the front door. It's a deep pink rose which should look striking against our pale Bath stone walls. The rootball plus soil was much heavier than expected so I've tweaked my back again. Big oohs and aah s.

Still tired, so I am seed sorting and "filing" into sowing months with envelopes all over the table.
