Not actually been out in the garden today cos a) got a cold and woke up tired and achy and b) bloomin cold outside, so instead went shopping for stuff!
Got some seeds: carrots, 2 types of lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, pumpkins (Milly's idea) and runner beans. Also bought white and red onion sets and some seed potatos (maris piper).
Also bought some potting compost, some seed trays, gloves, trowel/hand fork set, slug pellets and then had a massive stroke of luck when I visited the olds on the way home - they have a brand new, in the box, 3 shelf cultivator/greenhouse type structure with plastic cover which they have given me!! (photos to follow in a few days).
So the next plan is to hopefully get back outside and finish the digging and then start sifting through the earth to remove the really big stones and any lingering roots/weeds and make enough room to put up my greenhouse.
Then if I get enough time I might get round to potting some seeds.
At the weekend i'm going to get Graham (muscles) to get some big bags of compost to dig into the soil and give it a good watering (if we dont hava any rain that is), so that next week once i'm happy with the state of the soil and am sure there's nothing else to rake out of it, I will get round to planting my spuds and onions!! Yay!
(BTW, I know i'm probably using all the wrong gardening terminology, but I am excited and I dont care)
Nuff said x
