We've totally cleared the left hand side of the plot and dug it over a few times. Our weed mountain has been moved, added to and turned over a few times. A lot of the stuff in there has now died off which is good to see and there is a lot of salvageable soil in there now.
We've marked out a few beds for planting in so we can concentrate on keeping those weeded and tidy. We've had a big pile of manure delivered which we'll spread once we've got ourselves a wheelbarrow. Today we also erected a plastic greenhouse which we bought a few weeks ago. Cheap and cheerful but we hope it'll do the trick. There's plenty of room inside to walk around so we'll pop a table or something in there and get some pots to start some seeds off in.
We've just had a week of frosty weather so we're glad we didn't start planting the week before (we were debating it but thankfully decided to wait). We're now at the stage where we can get planting so that will be our next job. There are some other important things to do such as installing guttering and a water butt as well as re-roofing the shed as it is getting a bit damp and looking a little ramshackle! Matt is also going to get some grass seed as we've set an area aside as a sunbathing/BBQ patch in the hope we get a decent summer so we want to have some nice grass to sit on.
This is my first attempt at blogging from the phone so here's hoping it works!
