Full day at the plots yesterday got a lot of clearing done . All 4 compost bins full now. Still lots to do, we need a week of dry weather so I can start digging.
Hello , spent Monday & Tuesday mornings at plot Planted broad beans & spring onions under clouches
O/H cleaned up rhubarb bed and weeded a large bed which we covered in membrane until needed Still harvesting carrots 🥕 leeks , broccoli 🥦 and parsnips , however , the later are getting rather bid and the cores are a bit hard so o/h is marking vegetable soup
As ever a few little jobs done Need to finish pruning fruit trees and soft fruit bushes
Hello , a couple of productive mornings at plot Cleared cabbage beds and covered with horse manure for winter Cut down Dalias but need to buy cover with compost/mulch Moved 2 climbing Roses 🌹 that I had grown from Hard cutting a couple of years ago Obviously a few other jobs done
Another a few hours at plot this morning More pruning done , now a big pile for burning 🔥 Dug up some carrots 🥕 & leeks for dinner tonight, also cut some Chrysanthemums for flowers 💐 for home
Took a sackful of shredded prunings to the compost bin and managed a bit more digging. We are allowed fires now but they are generally discouraged as we are in an urban area. All my flowers are over even the chrysanthemums.
