Jobs To Do - Week 38, Year 0

Last week was a great week. We didn't need to water because it had rained so much, unfortunately not enough to let us dig the flower bed though. The same is true for the raspberries and brambles, much to bills annoyance. As soon as we get a day we can dig we will have a big blitz and get lots done.

 I cleared the remains of the corn, sad that I would not get to try any this year. I cut back the part of the bush that was encroaching on the path, so as not to be a bad neighbour, but didn't get to cut it all back. We couldn't get the fire going in such wet so didn't even try. 

But we did get to pick some carrots, they are still quite small so we only picked a few, but I have already told you about them in my last post. We also picked some beans, beetroot, apples and herbs. Was a wonderful feeling to go home with my trug full of things we had grown.

Preparing and eating carrots I had grown was quite a strange feeling, thinking about how I had planted these tiny seeds and they had grown into something so big (well compared to the seed) and yummy, even my partner commented on how nice they tasted.

So what needs doing this week:

Watering

Weeding - Got to keep on top of it

Cutting back the bush - must remind Bill to bring the saw so we can really get is back.

Burn - if its dry enough, maybe if its dry till then we get there we can burn.

Strim the grass - till we get the fence and paths in we are going to have to keep the grass under control. After is just the paths around us we will want to keep tidy.

It wont be wet enough to dig, will have to keep waiting.

Herb corner - Still need pots and compost.
