Digging done!

Got out in the garden for a bit this afternoon with my 'helpers' and managed to clear the rest of my patch!!

Sooo, next job is this weekend to get some compost dug in, then keep it cleared of weeds/plant material over the following week and also to give it a good water so it's nice and moist for when I start planting!

We are also going to rid the garden of rubbish, get the spare hutch collected by our friends and then we'll have room to put the cultavator up and get some seeds potted into the trays this weekend.

I watched 'edible garden' on BBC2 last night (couldnt stand the presenter woman 'Alys' - wanna-be hippy stuck in the 1960's even though she was born well after that era), BUT I did pick up a few tips. One which I will be following is a plastic netting contraption she made to keep cucumbers off the floor (stops them rotting) and another tip she came up with is to only grow and plant what you need i.e. no point in planting 40 lettuces that are all going to be ready to eat at the same time (which is logical but I hadn't thought of it, lol).

She was also of the mind that you dont have to be a complete expert to grow veg, take a chance with things and just see what happens. If some things dont grow, try another type or just forget about it altogether and grow something else.

Also, popped into Aldi this morning and their Sunday 'specials' this week are all gardening bits!! Yay!!

Not bored of this project yet!
