Reorganisation and a Colourful Visit

We were in for a treat this morning. Bull Finches have been around in the hedges locally all summer, but today marked the return of them visiting our garden. Mum and Dad are visiting in a couple of days, let's hope he comes back while they are here.



Meanwhile, a long term plan finally started to take shape. Last autumn we planned to rejig the back veggie plot, but the weather closed in before we had finished harvesting the leaks and we never got back to it. This time, with the allotment to grow our winter brassicas and leaks mainly growing in the side plot in our garden we made sure everything would be pretty well finished in the back to give us chance to get it done. Nothing fancy, just making it into two narrow beds so that we can reach to pick veg without having to stand on the bed. The beauty of having turf edges is that you can change them as often as you like

Just lift the turf on the left hand side, and build a path in the middle with it. Dig over the newly exposed soil and let the weather do the rest.
