Cardboard down for the first no-dig bed.Need more compost…Quick propagation bench made from Neve’s old bed.
Spinach and parsley seedlings come on over the last week…
Wide angle of whole plotThis will become propagating zone at rear. Just sown some winter spinach ( it late, well see) Grass cuttings today. Quite a lot of this ancient pile of bramble and rosemary cuttings cleared. And this plastic sheet retrieved from that pile, where it was serving no useful purpose
Slowly sorting through the huge pile of cherry prunings, bramble, and other woody stuff. To the right you can just see the cardboard I put over a bramble I dug out. Eventually, I’ll be able to remove that black plastic from underneath.
Removed the beans, which were in the foreground, before the netting. Netting is (semi-)protecting beet-leaf spinach and spring onion (both did, and doing, well).
Beyond the netting, courgette has done reasonably (despite early munching by the muntjack). And beyond that, I’ve pulled back the polythene mulch to sort the mess under a little.
Removed the beans from left of the cosmos. Netting further back is protecting spinach and a japanese spring onion. A couple of rows of potatoes remain around where the fork is.
A toad has made his home in the compost bin.
