Tasks to date have included the
1.painting of around 100 fence slats reclaimed from a neighbour's dilapidated fence - we hope to replace about 20m of joint fence - not had to buy any wood for the exercise yet!!
2. installation of drainage to try and lower the water level (water strike at about 200mm!)
On the upside the daffodils and tulips that we planted in the autumn have provided some early spring colour... summer is on the way
Back at home we have a tray of beetroot planted - hopefully ready to transplant in 2 - 3 weeks, the pumpkins, courgettes and butternut squashes have been started off from seed
Loads more of seeds to start of, a feeling of aaarggghhh what to plant where and when (direct, inside, outside, in cold frame or greenhouse)
one tip I have picked up is to cut up old milk cartons to use as plant markers. A pair of scissors and a permanent marker!!
