Progress - and some bean sprouts

The carrot bed needed re-digging because it was like concrete! I've sown some of Aldi's cheap flower seeds next to the weed fabric (you can see the bare patch above - this is where the carpet had been).
The potatoes are all in now, and there's a few bean sprouts poking their heads up.
I've had a go at sorting the path out - yes there really is a path at the side!
Got an excellent crop of dandelions and, at the top end, a serious bindweed problem - bit lots of glyphosate spray should nuke 'em.
We were thinking today, that we might rotovate up by the sheds and get some grass seed down this Autumn.

A couple of hours on Sunday morning

Now I've got some potatoes planted, along with beetroot, broad beans and the parsnips I planted last time.
I've inherited some rasberries as well as the ones that I've planted.
The potatoes bed that is on the right has been roughly dug.
The weeds are starting to grow!
I've met Richard the neighbour.

30 minute dig

Spent £15.85 on seeds in Wilkinsons yesterday (their raspberries were expensive!)
Hoed and raked left hand side of bed 3 and planted three rows of parsnips.
Dug half of the right hand side of bed two (for Broad beans eventually).
Chilly
The weed control fabric has coped will with the wind.

Diggin' on a Wednesday

Moved the carpet covering part of 'bed 7' and got the whole of 'bed 8' (the very far bed, above the flower strip) covered with carpet, plastic and weed control fabric.

Sandra finished off digging bed 3, and I planted one sowing of early carrots. on the top left hand quadrant of this bed.

I got the right hand side of bed 2 dug over and put three raspberry canes in.

I need to buy some more weed control pegs, parsnip seeds. and probably some more seed potatoes.

A good morning's work!

Tuesday dig

Sandra helped today.
We cleared the last of the bundles of wire and more of the broken glass, I also swept out the small shed.
I measured the plot - it about 28 paces long by about 8 paces wide, excluding the shed area.
I re-dug part of the top bed, Sandra raked and hoed most of bed three, and I roughly dug a strip nearest the road (and found some rhubarb). I threw a mixture of annual flower seeds into this strip, but there's so much couch grass, I'm not sure that they'll do any good.
The weed control fabric arrived, and this is in the shed.
