Seedlings transferred

 Allotment baby steps!  We have planted 4 beds of potatoes to break up the heavy, heavy clay soil - and have brought into use a host of tubs and containers to try to get the lovely starter box plants going.  There are a LOT of lettuces.

The netted bed behind the green pots is next door - we have the onion bed in the front - beans and peas, some turnips, rocket and cabbages starting in the green pots - assorted salad type plants in the brown ones.

All in and watered - so fingers crossed.

A leg up...

It came like this...

 Carefully layered seedlings ...
 A few layers ...
 Care of my lovely brother and his wife for this generous Christmas gift - which needs to be planted by the end of the week.

A little bit of progress


This week we have got the fourth lot of potatoes in ... yes, lots of potatoes, but it is to try to break up the clay a bit more.  Also, we have been able to start on the Fourth Road bridge of strimming, and position a bit of edging.

We also had a go at tidying up the water feature.
