Not being able to get to the plot all weekend was doing my head in. I had dropped off the timber for the raised beds last thursday and not been able to start the build. This afternoon was different, I got the first bed built and raked over (again). I uncovered the spuds from frost covers and they had broken through the soil so I back filled a little.
The tap has been fitted albeit badly as it's leaking in two places (council plumbers) and I've watered the ground to full extent.
I will build two more beds before I cover them all in cardboard and newspapers then fill them up with compost 10 tonne bags at a guess these are £40 a bag from my local Knights garden centre, and think that's a good deal?
Day in the life of a grower who has just upgraded to an allotment, day to day updates of how and what is going on whether its in the garden, greenhouse or on the allotment. Everything about growing from seed to table and everything in the middle. Hopefully interesting, informative and honest. I will include the fails and the successes. Enjoy the journey each season.
