We spent the day attacking tidying the new garden intending to plant some spring bulbs.

A low hedge along the front path was trimmed (I suggested we remove it). Then we decided to dig it out.  This was followed by trimming (?) another mixed hedge on the edge of the front garden and digging two new flower borders.

"Do you know where the pick axe is?" Guess what someone thinks I'm doing tomorrow!

I'm off to the plot to lift carrots, me!!

3 hrs of digging - extended the size of the main veg bed and forked some lime into the 'to be' brassica bed. Harvested half a carrier bag of sloes.

I bet it's looking good. 

[Plot 6B]

Carried on winter digging on both plots which I must say are looking rather empty now.
There is something beautiful about a freshly dug plot, all nice and tidy. Or is it just me?
The Greenhouse on plot 6B is also now empty awaiting it's Sulphur Candle!

In August I took down a wall,today I've been using the bricks to make pathways around my veg plot.
Also took down runner bean plants,and put on compost heap along with courgette plants.
Cleaned out greenhouse and removed aubergines(not very successful)

Finally started to burn the woodpile left from winter damage to plum trees.  Covered yesterday's plantings of garlic and onions .... Seems my nocturnal visitors enjoy garlic !?!  I think I might lose this battle

So much for lifting carrots and having a little dig. 

We spent much of the day planting daffs and tulips again.  Well that was how the idea started off yesterday. Today I shredded a massive heap of prunings, dug out another flower-bed and wheeled heavier twigs and branches to the end of the garden for a bonfire. The daffs and tulips are still in their bags.  :blink: At least the old, unsightly overgrown hedging has gone. The light streamed in without it.  :happy:

Carrots? I'll try again in my break time tomorrow.

Fitted hooks and tool rack in the shed. Extended and made good the outer fenced entrance area.  Stripped pallets - made and fitted a gate and some steps into my new lottie... there was quite a slippery slide into the  plot..

Monday was quite good. Transplanted(!!!) beetroot and swiss chard - not so many plants appeared, so had to do that  Spread some limestone powder(a day before i checked pH, so have to go down  about 1 point) and tilled place after beetroot  tomorrow is time for spi-  spina- spi-nach(i don't like the names of some plants ) also have to spread couple more bags of limestone powder and till again. It's not that hot now, so tiller keep going without overheating, even soil is wet after saturday rain. And the best news - i found rice reaper-binder. It's only for 1 row, but price is so sweet to reject, also looks like been used recently.

Finished planting the strawberry bed. Also planted garlic. Then marked out the area where a new bed is going to be, then sat with a cup of coffee and admired my work!!

I've only had my allotment for 2 weeks and I've spent much of the time clearing the raised beds, digging etc, but yesterday was the first time I sat back and  looked at what I had achieved. I was so pleased with it.

It's a great feeling, isn't it, Jenny.
