As promised - news of the plot. Well, It's not really news...... The ground is wet. After all those days with snow on it, that is no surprise. The broad beans, peas, onions and garlic are growing well. As you will see from the pictures, Thomas came with me and helped to pull out all the marking stakesthat I'd been too lazy to remove. I put the stakes in to mark the borders of the beds out the beds before I dug them.We also managed to spread a load more wood chips over the paths between the beds. We really have far more chippings than I'm ever likely to need, so I might see if I can give some away to my fellow plot holders.
The photos make the weather appear better than I remember it being. It was blooming cold, miserable and started to drizzle before we finished
Now I need a week or two without any really hard rain and a good drying wind to get some of the water out of the soil. Gosh I'm beginning to sound like a farmer - still a good whinge about the weather always gets your excuses in first before the crops fail.
