Roof on

Been a busy old day down the plot today. First things first though... coffee.

Whilst I spent an hour up a ladder replacing the roof on the shed, (If you remember, the roofing felt got ripped off by the storm), the Wife started clearing out the rubbish in the greenhouse and giving it a damn good clean out.

She seemed happy doing that, so I went off the build a new Strawberry bed for all those strawberries that have been over wintering in the greenhouse.

Don't worry, the foxes have moved out. Just as well, because there has been a delivery of manure. Something of a rarity on our side. The West Side usually gets the big deliveries, but we managed to get a decent pile this week. So tomorrow, I'll be digging the mound over and adding a liberal amount of manure ready for turning it into a courgette mound again. Also at the far back of the plot, I'll be piling up more manure for our German Pumpkins.

Elsewhere on the plot things are a little more alive. The Kale is still rather pigeon'ified, but that doesn't stop other creatures moving in. And they're a darn site more welcome.

So now the greenhouse is nice and clean. The Strawberries are moved back inside. There is still a slight chance of frost, but it's not that I'm concerned about. I need to dig out the old compost bin properly to put the compost into the new bed. That (and the afore mentioned manure) is tomorrows job.

But it does look a lot cleaner in there. Maybe it's because I re-planted the blueberries into bigger pots so they are now outside. Gotta make a net cover for them otherwise those damn pigeons will have 'em.
