We've had a busy old weekend here ; although the sunshine didn't manage to stretch all the way to the weekend, our motivation did and we've been tackling a lot of big jobs at the end of the garden. Most dramatically the polytunnel is up! Well, the frame is. We need to buy some anti hot spot tape and then stretch the fabric over. Our neighbour helped will to put the frame up and will help with the rest once we have the tape. We have also shifted tonnes of rubble and built a really big path which is along the wheelbarrow run which was getting very muddy. I have lifted the tarp off of the really big raised bed and raked it over ready to plant true spinach and parsnips, hopefully today. I have also started oodles of seeds indoors and washed my greenhouse, moved a willow tree and started generally tidying up pots and things.
Finally we can say 'the garden' without having to add 'and the bit at the back, WE DON'T GO THERE'
We need to clear and sow grass seed in the top right corner as that is where the huge trampoline will live now and I would like to buy 5 or 6 rhubarb crowns and have rhubarb all along the right of the new path. I need to improve the drainage but it is a sunny spot.
All in all, hurrah!!
Everything looks super.
ReplyDeleteDH grew rhubarb from seed for his community allotment plot to save funds and it it developed very well
Oh really? I'd never have thought of growing from seed, I'll have to see if I'm not too late to start some of this year, thank you.
