Bank Holiday Sunshine

Great weather this May bank holiday weekend has enabled us to have lots more time down the lotty. Good job really as I'm likely to face eviction if i don't get more digging done. Pity my dog cant dig down the lotty as much as it does in the garden.

Went down Homebase and bought a few Herbs & some compost


First 4 herbs, forget their names

Red Onion & Corn

Blueberry Bush

Did some more digging today. Dug out another bed and a half. Planted a rose bush and a climbing rose. Got them for £1 each from poundland

Also went over the whole plot with the strimmer. Arleya cleared loads of weeds from a variety of beds.
Poundland rose

Another bed dug. More potatoes added to this one

Climbing rose to grow over the frame i built

I've also dug over about of a third of the way up where the beige carpet is. Will have that whole patch dug over next visit.

Dug another bed out today. So we now have beds all the way down to the frame on the left side now.

Cultivated plot?

New bed & biggest one we have. Another plot holder gave me these sprout plants today so we now have sprouts
What have we got growing?

Beetroot
Garlic
Potatoes
Blueberries
Blackcurrents
Blackberries
Raspberries
Strawberries
Rhubarb
Carrots
Onions
Sweetcorn
Sunflowers
Peas
Beans
lettuce

Wont get much done over the next couple of weeks as I have a half Ironman event coming up next weekend so will be away. I should have done enough for now to satisfy the councils opinion as to what a cultivated plot should look like though. I guess we will see.

cheers
