Cleared some ground by removing and composting the sweetcorn, sadly planted too late so no crop.   :-X

Took delivery of some nicely rotted cow's muck, and spent a couple of hours barrowing and shovelling it to where I wanted it! Bliss...... ;D ::)
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Re weeded the bed where the onions are going in, and emptied three barrow loads of my compost from the big bin onto it....lovely stuff! Tried digging the last remaining bit of the last bed, which has so many dandelions and couch roots it takes about half an hour a row......... ::) I'll go back and have another go today!
