More Digging

 The work continues as we prepare the ground incorporating manure into the soil as well as breaking it up. We have all the beads planned out, the long bed is dug and needs more manure then digging it in. The top bed is almost finished with just a little section of manure to be incorporated. The middle bed is almost dug and ready for its covering with manure. And lastly the fruit cage and experimental bed is being dig and will soon needs its manure. 

Here is some pictures of the progress.

Over due update

Its been a while since my last post, I have been far too busy. We have been getting plenty done, digging beds and adding manure. the below is of bed 3 freshly covered, you can see how happy Bill is about it. 


The picture is actually a couple of weeks old. We have since dug that manure into the bed and dug more of other beds too. Also in the done list since last update list is moving the rhubarb away from the path/to be fence, Tidying up stuff laying around and removing the old raspberries. 

We missed a couple of weeks but now that the ground is finally soft enough to dig its all hands on spades to get it dug before the ground freezes. 

We have had some bad news, Mother and Bill are being evicted, so the back garden with its lovely soil that Bill has been working on for years will be lost. No more beds 4-7, so we are having to rethink what we want to grow next year.
