The first planting

Went to the Royal show last week and picked up some seeds so off we went over the weekend to get them planted.


So far we have sown, lettuce, spinach, carrots and beetroot from seed. It is really to see how the ground is and to try to raise a few crops to reward us for all the hard work we have done.

Sam's dad came up on Sunday with 50 leek plants, a pumpkin plant and about 50 "bobbie" bean plants! I will get these planted this week if the rain ever stops here! Oh well at least the seeds will be well watered.

I also covered another quarter of the plot to allow the grass to die, after a whole day of ball breaking digging I have decided to rotovate the rest, there is very little weed and cooch grass to worry about on this half.


The next task is to dig over the quarter behind this patch and lay weed membrane and slabs for our greenhouse and shed, at least I can leave the tools there instead of bringing then home every day! and I have somewhere to hide when it rains!
