A busy time on the plot




Lots going on at the moment, the second greenhouse beds were completed today,  they are ready for planting when the plants are ready.

A central path made up of a rubble base covered by heavy duty plastic and then a thick layer of wood chips.The beds have been enriched with compost.
There are plants in greenhouse number one being prepared for planting in greenhouse two.

In the foreground are Cucumbers, Courgette  and dwarf french beans.
The Pear tree has lots of blossom.

Still buds, but won't be long opening.


Preparation for the summerhouse is going well, today I laid out blocks and bearers to take the floor.


Levels are all sorted, we were also given some decking boards to make a veranda..



Some lovely clay pots from free cycle.

The last few sunny days have helped to germinate the carrots and parsnips, I'm very pleased about the Parsnips because they can be tricky to get going. Planted some dwarf broad beans out today, they had been started in greenhouse one.

  1. Looks like a great job on the base for the summerhouse, can't wait to get it in situ.
