Garden prep

[Geordie_Rob]

I've got 5 6ftx4ft raised beds made, the wood cut & ready to screw together for another 4.

Got the area levelled ready for my 24ftx6ft greenhouse to go onto. Then it's a case of lay a big plastic tarp on the floor & cover with 2 tonne of pea gravel. 3 tonne of compost is a phonecall (and a lot of wheelbarrowing) away to fill the raised beds.

Got myself 3 new raspberry plants from £1 shop today as they were the only ones with buds on. All the rest were just bare sticks & previously they've failed to grow.

Got some spuds started sprouting so I've started chitting them. I'd only ever used seed potatoes until last year when I had spare big flower buckets & inedible spuds (going green) so I planted them to see if they'd grow. They all did & the spuds were lovely so I'm not wasting my cash on seed potatoes anymore.

Just waiting on this cold weather to pass & I can crack on. Fingers crossed for the weekend
