Visited plot this afternoon once the rain stopped.
Raked 3 beds and spread with multipurpose compost.
Planted some red onions as the soil is actually now workable.
Also planted out a strip of lettuce as mine seem to be rather behind.
Pleased to actually do something constructive after the annoying weather.
Keep digging

Good visit to plot this morning.
Dug a trench for beans and incorporated manure.
Then erected a frame for the beans.
Collected my first asparagus spear of the year.

Went over the plot again with my hand mower today. Yesterday I went over all my beds with a hand rotavator(cultiavtor?). Was pleased with how that went, even my plot neighbours were impressed

Had a couple of good days on the plot - put some new blue hoops up for the black kale bed (Seedlings doing well in the greenhouse for now) and put up some protection for my nibbled asparagus  :mad: protection consists of a wire fence, pinned down, and some peppermint water (Diluted peppermint essential oil in water) just dribbled around the edges. I suspect it's rats, but if its slugs I'll have to rethink the strategy! I also took an hour to clear out the shed, give it a scrub and get rid of any rubbish. Thanks to the peppermint essential oil the shed now smells incredible!  :D

Off on short hols next week so went up this morning and put in last 16 broad beans.  Those root trainers do make em look good.
Summat's had the marigolds i put in last week ... slugs or climate?
Gave rest of beds a hoe to discourage weeds.
And brought back enough chard for us and neighbour and 1 leek
