Marching through March

So far, over the last two weekends has involved addition of two more raised beds.  We have planted tomato and cabbage seeds into seed trays which have successfully started to grow. Into the ground we have planted shallots and garlic along with peas and extra strawberry plants. The ground has been turned again and the shed is ready for painting. The broad bean seeds we planted into seed pots have taken well and will be able to go into the ground soon. We are successfully marching through March.

This weekend

This weekend we aquired a shed for £20 which was an absolute bargain!! So that was constructed by my assistants.
Planting: in one of the beds this weekend we have planted (in the pouring rain), 2 rows of charlotte potatoes and 2 rows of maris piper potatoes. I have also today planted 2 raspberry bushes.
Two of the beds have been turned over and I have weeded the strawberry bed to reveal just the new leaves on the strawberry plants.
The broad bean seeds we have started are beginning to grow and should be able to be planted out soon.
All in all its been a successful weekend, except for the rain!!
