    Hello forkers

    Well what a lot of digging I have done ended up uncovering a large hole with lots of lime bricks in under ground was about 1/2 metre deep thought maybe there was a lime kilm there once - not sure though

    took some pics - ended up filling it in only want to plant in top area hope it will be fine for the plants

    when I was planting my apple tree right near by the area a year before last I had to dig out loads of lime bricks right where I wanted the tree to be - so must have been something with all those bricks

    Planted out a few phlox and hebe from Woody plant sale and a large stipa gigantea which I got from Stansted garden show - so Verdun will need advise for what to do with it in winter/ spring re cutting it or not? 

    Found a tin of metal paint in the garrage pinched a bit as dad's, but he has had it a long time - painted old bbq so now dark green not rusty will be used for a bird water table/bath

    Fidgebones it is all knackering this digging mallarky, me prepared area for plants so that will be more digging yet to do

    Yes,all these"it only takes 10 minutes to plant sweet corn"

    But it takes three hours to prepare the soil first. I have a block of 7x10 planted a foot apart. Sweet corn fest come September.image
