Hi Guys, went to have another look at my new plot yesterday and I'm sure it's just ordinary grass on it, not couch grass. It's just grown in odd clumps. the soil underneath is amazing - clay loam, slightly acidic.
Done some seed sowing today of flowers nice to get started
Went to B&Q later in day looked in garden area and spotted a trained apple tree on offer for £20 was £43 - so got that and some lavender plants all for the garden project, the b&q store has all been changed around been going on for a while but now the garden has a massive marquee with metal shutters for them to use
GWRS some of my horse manure has got grass seed just bits so easy to pull out, dig it in

Hello , went to plot yesterday , pruned & weeded around 4 gooseberry bushes , took longer than I thought , pleased with results
Tieded up a couple of plots and found 2 parsnips I had missed and some turnips , only couple ok rest into compost bin
Was hoping to go up again today but raining ☔️
Hope you have all had a good weekend
Both of us went to plot yesterday , lots of weeding and fence mending
First time had a problem with horse manure , lots of grass growing in it
Have had good weather so far , was going to plot today but ended up queuing for football tickets for Lincoln City FC
Hoping yo get there on Friday
Happy gardening everybody

I started sowing a couple of weeks ago and potted up some bulbs to give them an early start. Pea's and broad beans have germinated
Chilli's are getting alittle leggy and I've lost some to damping off.
