The 30 Day plan explained!

[veggiechicken]

Good idea rary!

The one that's cost me nothing is called "rary".
The one that I can't dig over is Lumpy.
The one with nothing identifiable is Muddled.

Any more?

Any that multi coloured Magpies like could be called Jay...................

[Snoop Puss]

One with lots of nests in (even if only termite or birds' nests) could be Bigmallly. Sorry BM, I don't think gorilla nests are likely in South Wales.

Thinking outside the box, one of my favourite pastimes, I like it................

I thought it would be the one that`s the easiest to work

Part 2

Bet you thought I'd forgotten all about this, didn't you?

I have been plodding away though you wouldn't notice the difference.

Here's the plan of the centre of the garden - I've identified 27 distinct beds and I'll work on one each day of the month, with a couple of days to spare for other jobs.



Tomorrow is Plot 16 day. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow

[vixylix]

How do you keep track of all your challenges?! You must have a very complicated diary system

[veggiechicken]

Its all in my head Vix! That's why I forget so much
Nearly finished 16. Just come in for coffee and a breather, then I'll show you what I've done! Don't get too excited

Bed 16

Bed 16 is roughly square and 10' x 8'
Before:-



Redcurrant outside the logs to the right, hazel stump on the left, beech, ash and hawthorn seedlings, brambles, buttercups, bluebells and daffs.

After :-



I've moved the logs to include the redcurrant in the bed and planted another one.
Dug out the seedling trees and replanted 3 beech alongside the fence.
Top right - Pineapple sage cuttings
Top left - redcurrant
Bottom left planted with Purple Sensation alliums.
Bottom right - pansies
Daffs & bluebells remain.
Poppy seeds scattered over the bed.

Didn't do it all myself - I had help



Wonder how it will look on April 16th?

[Snoop Puss]

Looking good there, VC.

Anyone else think those dogs in the second photo look a bit like Minimalllies?

[veggiechicken]

They were trying to look innocent because they had just pulled up a kale from bed 17 and eaten it! It was a bigun too, in its 3rd year
At least I won't have to be so careful weeding bed 17 tomorrow!

[NickG]

Your garden is a large wood or small Forrest lol. What I would give for a garden of that size

[veggiechicken]

Nick, sometimes its a liability, others a pleasure!
A few years ago it was totally overgrown by raspberries, like forcing your way through a jungle. Gradually, its being beaten back into shape, but I need to do it in small chunks or I feel overwhelmed.
I do like it though

[NickG]

You manage it well though VC, you still found the time to do 48 thousand posts as well lol. You need to bottle that secret ;0)
