Hi!!
Another pretty nice day today! No good excuses to laze about indoors.
I decided to ignore the main veggie patch for a while longer and made a good start on the side herb/flower bed.
The iris and tulip bed was starting to look a bit scrappy. So I weeded it all – and along the fence and chucked a heap of straw on top, sprinkled with blood and bone and gave it a good watering. I am assuming the bulbs will continue to poke up through the straw.
There is a garden in there somewhere…
All sorts of better!
Before and after photos are so satisfying. It makes me happy.
Lets have another set:
I am so glad I managed to get those bales of straw earlier in the year. Going to be very handy over the next month or so! It just instantly makes things look better as well as doing a few jobs!
I still have the top part of the garden to get under control but was pleased with how far I got today. Not such an eyesore now.
One of the new raised beds is ready for its topping of compost and soil! I am a bit excited about that! I also sprinkled this with the remaining blood and bone and watered it in.
The other one got a few more prunings. Jeff collected my coffee grounds today for me so I’ll throw them into the bottom before layering it up further.
Its supposed to rain tomorrow.
I am planning on using an upcoming rainy day to sort out the freezers. I am getting 1/4 cow this week and I REALLY need to make some space.
Emergency cooking coming right up!
There are a lot of raspberries, chillis, tomatoes, plums etc. Will be quite an afternoon of discovery I think!
Hope your day was great
Cheers!
