Hi Folks, sorry I have not
posted for awhile.
The last few weeks in the
garden have been a mixed bag. Up here in the north we have had a little bit of
sun, some snow and lots of rain. Therefore, I have had to fit things in as best
I could.
I have managed to finish the
raised beds for the veg patch, although I still have a couple of compost bins
to complete.
I have also managed to build
a couple of smaller raised beds in the fruit patch. I have planted my rhubarb
in one of them. I have also planted my strawberry bare root runners, although I
have put them into pots until the frosts have gone before planting out in the
raised bed.
I have also constructed my
small tomato greenhouse. Now what a job that was; for starters the instructions
were only one crude picture. It took me a few hours to build what I thought
would take me a maximum of 1hr to do. I swear that it is the worst thing I have
ever built and even Ikea instructions were better than this. However, it looks
ok and I have put my strawberry pots into the greenhouse for now.
I am now working on
constructing the raspberry raised bed and the gravel path along the veg patch.
I have not gotten a lot done this weekend as it is quite slushy underfoot, but
I have done a bit. I am hoping this week to start sowing some seeds in some
heated propagators and my potato ‘chits’ are now ready to go into the sacks.
