the soft fruit fence

to day we started the soft fruit fence ,,we have got some raspberry canes to plant that we got for the bargain price of £6 just hope it was worth it ,we also have some at home in pots that we need to plant but will wait till they have finished fruiting before we plant them ,so today we started putting in the posts and wires to train them on got a few more to put in yet ,but its a start

beds finished

another busy day ,,all 8 beds are finished now and the soft fruit border is done and ready to plant in the autumn  ,,just got the asparagus bed and the carrot bed and the odd triangle bed to finish and the rest of the edging

busy day

daddy helping Rayne make the beds

spend all day up the lotty today building raised beds and doing some edging with the scaffold boards ,,4 beds done another 4 to do ,,then we have a couple of beds scattered to make use of the room we have left its looking good

yay we got the plot

yay ,,,plot 11 is ours ,,had a walk up today and its looking good all the ground has been leveled out so now all we got to get is some decent soil to grow in  ,,need to get some sowing done so when the beds are built we will have some plants to go in ,,we will load the the bed with the top soil from the paths so we have even more ,,,cant wait to get started

still nothing to do

well we where hoping by now we would have a plot to get started on ,,but we wont find out till tuesday which plot is officially ours ,,at the moment we are just planning on paper ,,got some scaffold boards to edge the beds with so once we get one we will be well away ,,i am going to do some seeding tomorrow so we can get a bit in the ground,,will get some green manure to sow on the empty beds

new beginings

well after 3 years of planning we finally got our allotment,, there is soo much to do as it was derelict land before soil not much cop but we can soon sort that out ,,not sure if we will be able to get anything planted this year ,,but it gives up a good few months to get it all marked out and dug over
