visited in the rain today to drop off some sleepers and noted the big paw prints on my newly laid white fleeces over my broad beans and garlic.... well if the birds don't get em.... the foxes will !!

quick trip to dump 3 more pallets and do some measuring to start planning the centre pathway.. tomorrow going there for a few long hours with my son to diggggggggggggg..

[Paul Plots]

What plot? Where?  :blink:  Really must go and see if it's still there!!

An hour (between the rain) in my parents garden removing summer bedding.
Loads to do!

Put in a raised bed ready for the asparagus. Most of the plot is now ready for the spring. Just have to sort out what I'm going to do with the paths between the raised beds.

Think I will probably use weed supressant and bark chippings. It seems like to much work cutting grass paths!!

[mumofstig]

I don't even bother with the bark, easier to move paths as I want...cos I'm forever changing my mind

Had my son helping me today for a few hours in the morning.. Got more digging done - now dug 50 sq mt and have another 150 to go. Also more rasps planted... now officially planted too many.. 50 canes - so I'll see how they do and remove some at a later stage..

[sunshineband]

You are right gavin that 50 is a lot

Finished work early so had a couple of hours on the plot this afternoon got 10 comfrey root cuttings planted and potted up a further 13 until I decide where they are going, netted some onion sets as the flying rats had lifted a couple and put some fresh chippings on the main path managed to get half the path done will finish it off on Sunday.

Nearly forgot also put 8 barrows loads of manure over half of next years brassica bed another 8 on Sunday and that's that bed sorted until it's time to lime.

Sunny - I grew up an a farm in sunny Rhodesia / Zimbabwe where we grew hundreds of acres of various crops... so it's how I was brought up - do everything big...

Today - nothing - whole day rainig. Autumn finally came here.
Yesterday almost finished weeds at tea farm. Shaped some plants with trimmer, but have to do some leveling. Also need to cover soil with thin sugi branches to stop weed growing. Hope that weather will be ok

[jmc1949]

Haven't done alot today, as the plot and the site are quite wet, but I managed to put a wood edging to one half of the path.

[mumofstig]

Bagged up all the bindweed and couch roots that I'd left on the path to dry out 

Guess what?..........they were still growing with the weather we've had, so they've gone in the dustbin now!

Picked a cabbage for coleslaw

wet grey afternoon in Brighton.  I spent an hour checking my broad beans (coming along) onions and shallots (getting there) and noticing the garlics showing as well.

Fixed the anti bird fleeces over them all - tidied the shed and said night night and went home for a cup of tea.
