Taking delivery of 12 tonnes of compost... again  8)

Yesterday, as the weather was so beautiful here I started the grand tidy up in my garden as we have now sold our bungalow (stc of course). Luckily the purchasers are keen gardeners, so that makes me feel a bit better about leaving it.....ho hum :-\

Yesterday and today I did a little weeding in the polytunnels and had a little tidy up around the plot.
Yipee I noticed my bluebell seeds are germinating.
Dug up a few parsnip, leeks and a celeriac for my tea
Sowed some leeks, cauliflower and calabrese seeds,

Where are you off to?

Harvested some Parsnips, Leeks, carrots and spring onions on Saturday.    ???      ;D ;D ;D

Not far Anne, nowhere at present in fact. Looking locally-ever hopeful.
At least I can keep my plots...now that would upset me. ;D

Went to the plot today, hooray! First time in absolutely ages. Broadies and garlic seem to have survived the weather, still got some sprouts to harvest and leeks and parsnips to dig. Brought home a swede and some carrots. It was just great to be there - and also to see a few lottie neighbours and exchange some chat. Feels like things will be really stirring soon ;D

Dug some more of the garden, chucked more bluebell bulbs on the rockery.

Covered some of the garden in the black matting, removing rocks from the ex-    rockery to pin it down.

My eldest son planted the first 6 of our Broad Bean seeds (Karmazyn), going to start em off indoors because otherwise they will be slug munched im betting and that also means he can watch them grow ;)

Mini greenhouse turned up so I built that and put it outside ;D

Nothing today as it's raining.  :( Yesterday I went outside and did lots of pondering and planning on where the beds are going.  ;D

Harvested carrots, parsnips and kale
Pulled up old plants, wigwams and weeded
Took some home compost for the dalek.
;D ;D ;D

It was really cold today, and a bit drizzly, so I just dug up a few leeks, had a walk around and went home again! ::)

Tidyied up the old and rusty hanging basket with new compost and some stripy sweet pea seeds. Took my new watering can out of the kids toy box, they wernt too happy about that, but they were happy watering the basket. :P

tidied up & managed to give away more of the landlords chopped tree  :) looked @ new allotment and tried to identify some plants. great day!  ;D

Pulled some (small) parsnips and mooli and tidyed up.
Planted new strawberries :)

Dreamed about spring and wondered where everything will go!

this saturday i forked over the soil, done some more weeding and picked leeks. I sowed in modules more leeks, and alpine strawberries and checked my greenhouse overwintering plants for mould.

Took delivery of my freeby shed yesterday which I wanted to erect this weekend on the lotty, no chance to wet to walk on :)

Picked up my very battered plastic greenhouse that got blown around the garden, fortunately its not too badly damaged, going to have to weight it down some how.
Building the raised beds today. ;D

Hi Its the curse of min ghs so try tieing them to something like a drain pipe or hooks in walls or slats in fences and always put a layer of heavy things on the bottom.

Today im leveling the ground and builiding my raised beds in prep for my new greenhouse arriving this week.
So excited!!
