Defrosting!!!!

Well today we've had a mini heatwave!!! It reached the giddy heights of 12 degrees!

Nothing to shout about normally but after the big freeze we've had lately, it hasn't got above freezing for days, it's very welcome! It's been too cold to do any digging at the Den.

Mind you the cold has been replaced by a howling wind... the straw I put on some of the poorly looking plants to protect them has blown all over the garden! Hopefully it will make some nesting birds very happy.

Here's a couple of pics of the frosty plants in the garden.

Spud update

The spuds are chitting away nicely... just a quick update for you.....

I've also bought some Charlottes to hopefully get a few salad spuds. I must start them off chitting soon!

Let the work begin.......

Well the Den has had a good old strimming and I must say it looks sooooo much better!

The plan is that the grass and weeds will be stimulated into life and start to grow. That way they can be spot treated in the areas that are going to remain as grass for now and the areas that are going to be veggie beds can be sprayed with whatever it is you spray weeds with!

Here's a couple of pics of how it's looking at this moment in time....



The shed will go at the top right hand corner and the greenhouse, when I get it, will go about half way down on the right hand side.




You can see where the original beds were and I'll probably keep to this layout for now. Just need to wait for the weeds to show themselves properly so they can be well and truly sorted!
