Makes it a lot harder with all this rain we are having the ground is heavily sodden .All i'm doing is turning it over and leaving it clumped together ,if thats the right term,
This year i'm going to make 2 strawberry patches at the bottom got a good idea for how i'm gonna do that post photo's when i've made them.Also the centre part of the garden is going to be made into 1 .Plus on the righthand side of the garden i'm going to plant 15 giant sunflowers which should look the part as last year the ones i planted faced the wrong way so these ones should look the part.
Anyone got any ideas on flowers thats about 1m high used blue cornflowers last year looked nice but we fancy something different
Hia Hazel i've checked the ones you mentioned and the ones GG said also and they are both lovely looking flowers . We have some pondering to do over this horrible wet winter . Yes not i'm not the worlds biggest winter fan roll on spring so everyone can start again.
Baza all this rain stopping me going and I have over stretched my arm the other day and still hurting
Brought my self a new border fork as really bent the other one digging the plot by finding a fence post metal spike under the soil - what things have been dumped on the plot
think because it has not been that cold that the weeds will still be growing
The allotment shop is shut and re opens next weekend they are doing a re-fit so that will be nice to see with newer stock
All this rain has been a nightmare especially for those poor folk thats been flooded i feel for them.That to one side i've done exactly the same to my garden fork bent it and snapped the handle off hitting broken flag stone ,thought i dug them all up but what do ya do ,
I've just looked at your video's on youtube and it has come great,bet you can't wait to get started again .Have you got a load of pallets under the sheets and if you have what plans you got for them?

Hi Baza great plans
Being the year of the cosmos there is a new yellow one for this year, annual rudbeckia, some nigella's look in Mr Fothergills for seeds on that
