I was only on the plot to take delivery of some spuds from a fellow friend. No way could you work on the ground. Heavy rain last night, so far too damp.

By the way does anyone know how many crowns you will need when establishing an asparagus bed? As a rough guide.

Pondered on whether to start planting anything. Some of the packets do say Feb/March but the soil is so cold  ???

I'd wait a week in that case or cover a section with a cloche to warm the soil.

Used five pallets to build two compost bins and some olddoors to build a bin for the manure this year. Started to take down the wire fence which is full of old brambles but they beat me off. Try again tomorrow.

Covered the area with a fleece, ready to sow seeds direct :)

Got flowerbeds ready :D

Pondered wether to sow heritage toms yet :unsure:

Today I did nothing on my own veg plot apart from peer excitedly at a lone brave asparagus spear appearing out of the ground and noticed that my purple sprouting is actually looking like it might sprout soon.

I did help my friend assemble her greenhouse and potting bench though and tried not to be envious. I say helped, I assembled, she made tea. :)

Hello btw. :)

Had to work later than usual so only had an hour or so of light to work in. Chatted to new neighbour, discovered he saw a rat on out lots yesterday. Did a bit more digging of couch from the raised beds, planted some garlic, some chopping of greens and browns for new compost.

Have you tried looking in your local "Loot"?
