With a lot of help from my dad I added another raised bed to the garden. Its twice the depth of the other raised beds and will be this years potato bed. I'm growing Mayan gold and International kidney.
My little veg patch for this side of the garden is about half way done now. I need to add the three more raised beds to the backs of the beds that already exist, fill everything up with compost, Staple weed suppressant between them and pour gravel down and plant. :D
The March payday again as long as nothing unforeseen happens will pay for the last raised bed and the rest of the soil.
April will be the weed suppressant and gravel although I'll be able to start planting before that's completed. :D
As well as all this I'm somehow going to have to pay for a larger chicken coop before April, the cat to be neutered, and a moped. Oh the joys of working part time.
I'd hoped to get the greenhouse emptied today and given a good clean out. Unfortunately its started snowing again and I really don't want to go out in it. We've really made progress with the pile of rubbish we inherited at the bottom of the garden. We've had a good three trips to the tip now and I can really see a difference. The day before yesterday I pulled all of the old carpet out of the pile and bagged it all up. I'd hoped Ito find soil underneath it all, but I didn't. I found a pile of bricks. :(
Never mind. Perhaps I can use the bricks in a project. Or maybe It will just be another trip to the tip. Either way, I can see the edge of the tunnel now and there are chickens at the end. We will be giving the back of the garden to the chickens, tripling their space. This will be handy as we have two eggs that seem (touch wood) to be developing well. The third one failed and was thrown out. And we've been given first pick of a batch My boyfriends mum is hatching.
So triple the space for double the amount of birds seems fair. :D
