We've had a really busy bank holiday, the weather wasn't great for the first couple of days but Monday came good. We worked really hard to get a number of beds dug over and we now have carrots, parsnips and courgettes on the plot.
Charlotte also spent a lot of time stripping the brambles back at the top of the plot and they are all but gone apart from some roots.
We've also commandeered 8 pallets courtesy of AXA, so after a bit more clearing i'll get on with building 2 big composters.
Next up are our legumes and once they are in I can proudly say we've planted as much already this year as we did in our first year. We've got a long way to go though and we've got plenty of room for some more, we just need to do all the groundwork.
We've also been careful to rotate our beds so there are no two types of crops in the same beds as last year.
Oh yes and i've put a nice row of sunflowers in to brighten up the place, apparently the petals make a tasy addition to salads!?!? We'll see!!!
