Light at the end of the tunnel

I had a really good productive day today. Watching another guy with a mini tractor turn over his plots in minutes today didnt help but hey ho. Im about 6ft away from finishing the 2nd plot so once this has been done we will turn over the other plot once more then will look at getting our First Early potatoes in. I couldnt believe after leaving the Lottie on Sunday that the fire was still going (just). I added a few more dry bits of grass then slung on bits of roots as I dug up. I did my bit when leaving by wheeling a couple of barrows of weeds from the neighbours plots and piling it on the fire. Hope they dont mind!

Paula and myself got stuck in first thing today with the target to clear the 2nd plot but we got no where near.

A lady who also has an plot on the site kindly gave us some rasberry bushes that she no longer needed so we spent a while planning out where these need to go, etc. We decided to plant these near the shed that may produce a mini windbreak in the summer. We were very excited planting these and are feeling like we are now actually getting somewhere now.

Romantic Valentine day out!!!

With a little bit of snow still on the ground we all ventured over to the lottie to crack on. In fact it wasnt long after that our winter jackets came off, hopefully this a start of something. As you can see Evie absolutely enjoyed it. Theres not an awful lot to report for today but was just glad Evie wasnt too cold to enjoy digging and playing.

Evies Birthday

Evies Birthday today and she received some lottie goodies from her Nanna and Aunt Marion. Shame the weather was too bad for us to take a trundle over to let her have a dig. Had a walk up there with Charlie anyhow and thought I would take a few snaps.

plot 15 finished (almost)

I am happy to say that plot 15 is finished now and will be just turning over in a couple of weeks. The reason I will be leaving it to settle is that couch grass doesnt like to be moved we are going to leave it for a while and then dig it all up as much as we can.
Anyway, the fire was starting to go out bearing in mind it had been going for four days so I decided to make a start on gathering up rubbish from plot 16 to burn.
