Pipe works finished (and more)
« on: April 27, 2008, 07:03:52 »
For all those who have picked up on me moaning about the pipes being put through my site over the last year.

The work is finished  ;D They have levelled off my plot with top soil in the style of Alan Tichmarsh and its better now than its ever been.

I have also been offered the empty half plot next to my first plot so I now have two-and-a-half plots (Its going to be one huge pumpkin patch)

And there are newbies walking around the site with maps.

And .... my new shed is up,   ;D

Col
... I am warmed by winter sun and by the light in your eyes.
I am refreshed by the rain and the dew
And by thoughts of you...

Hi all, Thanks for your comments :)
No pics yet, I ought to update my website. :-[

I planted some Kale, rainbow carrots, swedes, turnips and beetroot on the new soil today. It doesn`t appear to have much life in it, its pale and dry, but its much more clay than the dust we have on our site which might be good. I`ll raise some crops on it now and put all my leaf mould and compost into it in the autumn.

We need the site to be full and well used because we`re always under threat from housing.
