The First Real Day of Gardening, 2006
I dug up the rhubarb and the fennel at my old allotment and wheelbarrowed them across to The Allotment. The Old Man has gotten down into the boulder clay whilst digging the pond, and that's inspired us to go for a natural pond with puddled clay. We'll do the puddling tomorrow.
We went to the allotmenteers' kind-of-shop in South Shields and had a shufty at the potato varieties they are getting in, so that I could do some research into the best ones for us.
It was wonderful to get some fresh air and exercise.

Ooh, a pond - how exciting! I'd love to have a pond. There is a small dip in our graden where a pond used to be, but it's not well situated directly beneath a deciduous tree. We may re-install a new pond, but I suspect that will happen on after we have extended the house.
ReplyDeleteOur garden has been somewhat neglected in the last two weeks, because we've been busy, but hopefully this weekend, we'll get the trees shredded, dig in the manure into the veg patch and cover it over with some of the mulch we've made from the trees.
