Yesterday- extending width and properly defining long, boundary border bed. Mostly removing giant, grass turves and nettles. I did not have time last year- manure initially stored there and ad hoc planting as I used it - it is mostly flowers with vegetables tucked in.
Seedlings all look happy in their new beds.
Planted 6 tomato plants in seedling bed where I now have space and one in greenhouse to compare. Bed surrounded by corrugated plastic but not covered.
Lovely neighbour at allotment gave me some broad bean plants to fill some gaps in second broad bean bed. Watched him plant seeds as he was much more successful than me last year with carrots and beetroot. He sowed,covered and then firmed with end of rake. Will try that- I just cover or broadcast and rake both directions.
