[gardenplot]

Hip Hip A-ray, finished my nights now, got a nice week off, will be getting my veg plot sorted got loads to do and hope to have it up and running by end of this month
I have 3 compost bins to empty and sieve to fill the raised beds, and i need to go shopping for some garden goodies, will need to get some lime and a soil testing kit I haven’t got a clue what ph my soil is. (this will be fun)
Just hope we get a nice dry week

Had a good day did some shopping, bought a Water Butt 210ltr at long last, and got Some Bark Chippings to make path round raised beds.
also bought myself some shoes and tops.
Didn’t do any gardening was too tired, will do that during the week
The weather forecast is going to be sunny Sat, Sun & Tue some drizzle on Monday
So should be in luck and get veggie plot sorted this week

Oh, just how much am I in love with your current Avatar!
Just a thought.... with the bark chippings for your paths, DO think about buying a roll of weed-suppressing fabric from your local garden centre to lay directly on the soil before putting the bark chips down. You won't regret it, I promise you.
Hope you have a great week!

[gardenplot]

Its ok wellie, i put that down last oct to kill off the grass and put raised beds on top of that till ready to fill, and remove the weed-suppressing fabric from inside the beds before i fill them. my pathways are all set ready
Oh Thankyou

[wellie]
