What I did today 2025

[Nicos]

Yesterday I left my sweet pea seedlings outside all night by mistake
It hit-1C and they were covered in frost…so I’m crossing my fingers that they are indeed frost hardy down to -4C as I have read on goooogle.
Hmmm…gut feeling tells me they won’t be.

^^^ update….they majority have pulled through!
Just the more spindly ones have collapsed.
So pleased!…phew.

More what OH did today than me but I did some great supervision & pointing work

OH dug up some of our Rhubarb for new homes in other people's gardens - I bagged it up. What's left will be lifted, split to rejuvenate and moved to a new spot on the plot next week.

OH finished digging over one of the beds. We covered another with black plastic sheet to warm the soil a bit but mostly to suppress the weeds to make digging over easier.

I filled the incinerator bin with the last of our scrap wood! It's been a bane since taking over the plot several years ago so we're so pleased to see the last of it almost gone & the ash is being dug into the bed to improve the soil

We finally managed to dig out a humongous hellebore!
Only took two of us, a spade a fork and a long crowbar to finally prize it out of the ground
It will now be relocated in three chunks elsewhere in the garden/field.
