Thought we'd just add where we are this weekend - more of a timestamp than anything else.
Added 23 leeks to the space left in the polytunnel - adjacent to the aubergines and chilli plants. Dad had just planted some of his out and these were what he'd got left over (and more besides). Be interesting to see how they compare to those outside.
The strawberry side of the polytunnel has started to be dug over. This is twitch heaven - we've been pulling out roots three foot long. That said, soil again looks great once cleared. Leaves from inside are now in Geoff's trench. We've also moved the chicken feed and manure up to the shed, out of the way.
Nettle from front of polytunnel entrance has been cleared on one side. 'Twas a monster and I'm sure it will be back in Terminator fashion. Will tackle other side shortly.
Hosepipe has been brought over from East Leake and left in polytunnel. Looks to be a good length with a nozzle attachment. Have not yet attempted to fit it anywhere. Thanks to Ma & Pa (now avid readers of the blog!).
Further oberservations. Looks like Richard has dug out bramble roots between the redcurrants an Geoff has continued his undertaker training by beginnning another new trench adjacent to the one recently finished by Richard. Finally, looks like Mike/Geoff have filled the various holes and runs around the polytunnel entrance. Have to say it makes a massive difference not to be forever checking where you put your feet.
As Hanna & Barbera would say, 'That's all folks'.
Oh, and I think we've got slugs attacking the purple sprouting (certainly looked to be more than just caterpillars). Remedies ?!
