Early February was swallowed up with revision (and rain).
The rain then seemed to continue ….
I seemed to take awhile to get going on the garden. However last weekend was glorious, the temperature soared.
So it was on with the tree planting – post here.
Lots of new things at the plot this weekend. On Saturday, we borrowed a generator, my Dad and a heap of power tools to get the beds finished.
There are now two raised beds for the fruit cage. The plan is to use them from strawberries and get them off the ground from the slugs.
There is now a purpose built brassica cage, so maybe the pigeons won’t get all the crop next winter. Clever design means it give more from bed to bed to I can rotate the crops.
The currant and gooseberries got pruned. Blackberry, Loganberry and Tayberry all got tied in on the wires. Weeding done (but the ground is still very wet so will leave at least another week before I try to put the raspberry canes in).
A platform has been made to house my liquid compost barrel, now just need to collect the weeds. The bulbs that were planted around the blueberry bath have survived and are now starting to bloom.
