Well we're back in the swing of things and have started working on the plot again, we've spent an hour or so tidying up, just getting rid of a few weeds and burning brambles and rubbish in our new incinerator.
Fortunately, the weed control blanket I bought last year worked really well and it hasn't taken too much effort to get the first beds ready so this evening I have managed to get our first potatoes in. We've got British Queens (second earlies) and Pixies (early mains) which we bought from Ryton Garden Centre.
We've already sown some courgettes and aubergines at home, i've learnt my lesson though and will only be doing 2 or 3 courgette plants this year!!!
Next thing is to crack on weeding and preparing the beds, we really need to plan our planting and timings properly this year, last year was not disastrous but we learnt a few things that will help us this year.
This year I would like us to be able to clear much more of the plot, including the rest of the brambles at the top to make way for our compost heap and hopefully a shed....especially has someone has been using our rake and our fork has gone missing....
