These were taken last Friday (22nd mar), so when I went down to the plot on Monday morning I wasn't really expecting to get a lot done. But as you can see from the pictures below it ended up being the opposite. I was expecting the ground to be frozen or swamped but there was hardly any snow insight and no swamp in sight as the melted snow had already drained away. (Top left/right) With the snow gone I managed to mark out the rows in the Brassica and Root beds and also gave them a turn over, they just need a bit of fine tuning and they will be ready for sowing once the temperature rises. I also filled some half barrels for growing some Carrots, hopefully, as I've not grown in barrels before. (Bottom left) The Gooseberry bush I was given is making a comeback (I nearly dug it up as I thought it was dead). (Bottom right) where I used to stand my containers and large pots has now been turned in to a bed for Globe Artichokes, I lifted the slate tiles, replaced the boards and loosened the soil and added some rough home made compost. This half of the plot is almost sorted so I just need to sort out the other half now.
The first job will be to rebuild the Chicken pen and sort out a coop. Then sort out the area in the bottom half of the picture (where the carpet, longer grass is), it will eventually have a Polytunnel, more beds and a seating area there. Thanks for reading.
