I need to go on the soil to take off the old hellebore leaves, it won`t matter so much this year as they have only been in for 6 months, just waiting for a few more dry days
Job after that is to get the 3 new small beds assembled and tucked into the soil but I need to get the pry bar in and dig out the builders rocks and stones first. I hate the thought of having mud up to my ankles again and need to be in the mood. I am sure a sunny day will cause the mood
2 wests and elliot rootrainer stand is built and I have made slats to go across to hold various pots and trays as well as the rootrainers. I am raring to get started tbh. Propagator, small greenhouse for hardening off and stand for growing on.
The few frosts have been beneficial, many plants need that. Ground is still soft underneath and I can still pry my leeks up. I remember when I started veg growing, almost 50 years ago. I never cottoned on about being unable to get my parsnips and leeks out the ground. I seem to remember that we had good frosts most years
I am having to plan veg numbers as it is only me and limited space. Red drumhead seeds ordered, will sow a few and only plant 2. I have pop-up covers that keep the cabbage whites off. Might put these in between roses
