Week 10.
This week I will be digging over the garden and getting it ready for planting my first early potatoes.
I am going to open the drills and fill them with seaweed and rotted leaves and then cover the lot with black plastic for about two weeks.

[Verinda]

Week ten, I am still planting my hedge, its slow work as the ground is hard and stony and full of roots and I am not the speediest worker, but its still an achievement

[bramble]

Week 11.
This week I will be sowing all my herbs, spring onions and lettuce.

[veggiechicken]

Well done to all of you who have carried on without me prompting you

Week 9 - glazing the seedling house and moving the seedlings in



Week 10 - creating more paths and woodchipping them





Week 11 - Subdivide more beds to make them easier to manage.

Looking lovely Veggichicken.
I am very envious of all the space you have.
I would love to have a bigger garden.

[veggiechicken]

Thank you bramble
I'm trying to make it easier to manage with smaller beds and more, wider paths that I can chip, not mow. Still lots of overgrown bits to clear but I'm getting there
