  10 kilo already in, another 10 will go on weekend

You must have a large plot for 10kilo  + more garlic!!

Put a roof on the new manure/compost bin... well shed really looking at the size of it!!

Really busy day at the school plot --

4 barrows of weeds barrowed away to the big dump at the end of the field

cut the grass on the paths round the beds

moved the nine dwarf fruit trees that had over-summered in one of the beds out into the new orchard area. Forgot to get any stakes so will have the add them later  Hope the roots won't get damaged though 

Pulled out the poisonous plants from around the new pond banks (self sown) and considered where to best plant all the tenby daffs next week

Popped along for an hour & a half on my first ever day on an allotment & cleared a 3m sq patch.  Back tomorrow to extend the cleared patch to 4.5x3m in the hope of getting something in the ground before I have to start preparing the rest for spring.

Feeling inordinately pleased with myself 

Finished the bed as planned, but are my thighs supposed to hurt this blooming much?

Finished clearing an 8x4 raised bed that I started clearing 2 days ago. Continued digging the main non raised bed (20 x 12 ft).  Half now dug and manured.  Other full of couch and docks. Will continue to dig a little at a time and clear it before spring (weather permitting).

Spent half an hour up there, spreading last years leaf mulch around in between the rain.
It's so wet now compared to last week.

Yesterday, I hoed and weeded the whole veg plot! It was like a miracle to be walking about with my two new knees, getting  something done. Felt 20yrs younger!! 

Today I have help, a fit young man, cleaning out a building and heaving planks of wood around. Wonderful to be sorting out the muddle at last!

Hi Thrift - so glad that you are fit enough to work in you garden again.

To-day I stripped the greenhouse chilli and tomato plants and disposed of the plants in the compost. Then uprooted the last of the courgettes - had been frosted after the very cold night.

Cannot do any digging on the new veggie plot - it is so wet - will have to consider digging drainage ditches for the winter months.

[Thrift]

Thanks Springlands!

You have certainly had your share of rain lately ...... no wonder your new plot is a bit soggy. I hope it isn't an ongoing problem. The building clearance is complete, all neat and tidy now; a great feeling of satisfaction.

Getting to grips with the Dogwood hedge that someone in the past has grown!! really cant think why this on an veg plot!!    before and after pics...

A lovely day on the plot

Finally got the latest garlic planted  var Music

Also planted the broad beans.


Did a bit of clearing up where the calabrese had been.

DigIt...
That reminds me I really must get just a few elephant garlic planted to keep the stock going for another year.

Hope it's a bit drier than here Paul. It was quite wet digging, borderline really.
