Beans and peas sown last week, but the ground has been so cold and frosty! We’re hoping they’re helped out with a little bit of fleece. Hopefully it’ll keep the pigeons off too.
Even more digging! Got one really long thin plot ready for carrots and beetroot in a short while.
And the big addition is the new compost bin! It’s… massive. I think we might have overestimated how much compost we would generate. We’ll see.
More digging and clearing this weekend. We’ve got another bed dug, cleared around nearly all of the mystery twigs and cleared a lot of weeds.
Nothing planted today, but we’re gearing up to get some beans planted tomorrow.
Finally our 6 raspberry canes have arrived! We’ve planted all 6 of them alongside the blackcurrant in our fruit bed.
They’re just twigs for now, so any photo of them is a bit dull. But here’s a nice sunny shot of the allotments in the lovely afternoon light.
And the digging continues! This time we dug just a half bed and have put two rhubarb crowns in there. They’ll not do anything much this year but they’ll be good for next year.
