a far better morning today to do something on the plot
It actually felt warm enough to be a spring morning, soil still damp though.
Bed 1 is now ready for planting , the levels in the new beds have been made up by manure placed on top of the previous soil then another layer made up of turfs and sods placed upside down, this bed is now totally covered with black plastic. this will be my squash and marrow bed for this coming season
bed 2 i have also topped up the levels on this today with good salvaged soil from the old paths, covered with black plastic for now, my peas, beetroot and swedes are going in here this season
bed 4 this bed too has also been topped up today with salvaged soil and is ready for planting, this will be my carrots and parsnips bed this coming season
I also raked out some spare soil behind the plot adjacent to the compost bins which we are going to plant up with flowers this year , so a very busy but enjoyable morning.
