Sorted out some compost bins - the contents are still frozen, but I was able to lever one pile apart and redistribute it, giving me three empty bins when I start sorting the garden out. Pruned some young apple trees.

Ahhh..first bit of 'gardening' for this year done..and for last 4 weeks ;D..the mind was keen and ready for it even if the body was bit against.
I finally got my winter onions in, planted in modules as ground is unworkable. I know they are late...but they have a chance to produce or not..either way I only paid 20p for them from clearance sale ::)
Got some softneck garlic into modules as well and some other hardneck garlic bulbils in too.
.......and my 'mol lols' leeks for seed saving circle ;)
Sorted through most of my shallots..to eat and to grow lots...I didn't realize how well I did last year..I still have loads to eat and they will keep us going untill chives arrive.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh......I feel so much better now....Instant pick me up.......now I can happily climb back into bed and nurse the long lasting cold/flu away ::)

First time I have managed to spend some quality time at the plot since November :'(
I am replacing some of the wooden bed edging and making some proper raised beds - 2 will be 12" deep and one will be 6" deep. One deep bed completed today and half filled with garden compost and manure.

Cleared some more of that grass. We've been having the annual round of break-ins as well. It always seems to happen in bad winter weather when nobody's around.

Today I dug out lots more weeds, chopped down bramble bushes and extracted the collapsing arch it was climbing and tidied up the shed.
Still taming the plot having taken it over in October.
