Fantastic Weather for Lots of Jobs
Taking advantage of the weather to crack on with jobs ready for next year. New path half way there, polytunnel coming along and loads of other jobs
Planting Heritage Welsh Fruit Trees
Planting out heritage Welsh fruit trees along with elderberries and yet more rowans. The crab apples seem a little small, so a year of pampered pot growing.
Courgette Shortage
Courgettes have vanished from our supermarket shelves due to the unusual cold weather in southern Spain and Italy. But is this really such a bad thing?
Potato Chitting Time
The seed potatoes are here and laid out in seed trays in the potting shed to start chitting. With first earlies at least it gets them off to a flying start
New path through the vegetable garden
Laying a new path using concrete slaps through the vegetable plot to the polytunnel. Less of a death trap than the slippy pieces of slate it replaces.
Muck, Muck, Glorious Muck
A 2 tonne trailer load of rotted down sheep manure arrives - ready for next season's potatoes & brassica crops. A bit about gardening then and now.
Planning the Polytunnel Interior & Progress
I've made a good start on getting the polytunnel into action. Roughly planned how it is going to be laid out inside and the main borders have been dug over.
Germination Test Results, New Fence & Trees
Results from my seed germination testing - better than expected! New fencing to protect planting of a row of Rowan trees.
