Great to hear I'm not the only one that lost the lawn for fruit and veg. Been hard work but my veg plot is improving.
Starting my last job of the year preparing for a hawthorn hedge tomorrow. Got to remove a lot of old roots and will double dig and add plenty of manure.. It'll be the first job of the year too, as I'm planning to plant the bare root plants in January.
Hope you get the weather for it Gemma. I planted a new hedge this time last year and was lucky to have reasonable weather for doing most of it.
I've just finished what is hopefully my last big task of the year - putting down the 2 tons of gravel I got last week. Still need more but that will have to wait till building work's done in spring and I can finish path right round the side of it. I still have plants to move around and some to put in but I'll do them at my leisure now that the hard grafting's done
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Trying to grow celeriac but if I leave them in the autumn they get eaten by those worms that u find in the compost bin.Got to go now making more mince pies.

Hi Logan, welcome to the site. I have big lawns and like you, gradually digging them up, not easy though is it?
