Hopefully anyone reading this isn't becoming too bored of digging anecdotes and pictures of mud. Unfortunately I could stare at these pics for hours!!
Today I went to the plot but didn't achieve as much as hoped as I think I'm coming down with something and didn't want to overdo the digging. I dug an area which had been covered all last year, it was quite crumbly but still had a lot of thistle roots and couch grass. I spread home made compost and blood, fish and bone over the top and covered up. I'm anticipating this bed to be for my first broad beans which I'll plant in about a weeks time, then perhaps two or three more rows in succession every couple of weeks. I have two varieties which I'll mention in my seed inventory which I'm due to list soon.
Other than that, I planted a gooseberry bush that I've kept in a pot in the garden as it was a little late to plant last year (variety is Whinham) I couldn't resist a picture of the blackcurrant bush which is full of buds
After a bit more digging on my roots bed, I couldn't resist putting in some onion sets, it's very early, but they were shooting in the bag, and it's no great loss to me if they don't take. I netted them well as there are a lot of pigeons about, and even the odd hungry pheasant!
