Just keep digging, digging, digging...

We had a busy day outside today, still waiting on the delivery from Marshalls so we did as much preperation as we could.

A photo showing the difference now the conifers are gone from our boundary

Obligatory Abigail photo

A newly identified bush - It's whitecurrant, so we'll keep an eye on it this year and see how it fruits.

Wood Ash from a recent burning going in the compost

My lovely garlic

With new chicken wire covering

Bed full of soon to be gone flowering plants (possibly forget-me-nots)

New empty bed - ready for fruit trees and bushes

Remains of root structure we pulled up from under the new empty bed. It's from the neighbours beech trees (we think)


We removed all stray leaves from the beds, and raked in some compost over the top layer just to keep things ticking over till next week. We also split the rhubarb crown into two roots with buds and have replanted them, hopefully the harvest from those will be a bit more vigorous this year. I didn't take any photos of that because I've got pregnancy brain and forgot.

Nothing more to do right now other than wait for my delivery

*sits with feet up and huge mug of tea* :)
