A New Year's visit to the Plot

The Plot in winter is not an inspiring sight. There is no greenery. OK, I tell a lie, there is, but it belongs to the small weeds and grasses that are obstinately clinging to life.

We have had quite a bit of rain over the holidays and the main path next to the new section is somewhat flooded.

Which also doesn't bode well for said news section as it is significantly lower than the rest of the plot. If we end up with huge rains again, like last time, then this new bit will be totally underwater.

The shed is looking a little tired. When the weather warms up a little (and before the grape vine starts sprouting obviously) I will have to apply a good coat of preservative again. Gotta keep the Red Shed on Stilts.

This is not the only job required. There are new beds to be built. I already have all the necessary wood ready. I just need a decent dry day to get to work.

The new beds will be installed in the new section and at the front where the previous infamous Courgette Mound resided. At the moment it's covered with weed membrane in an attempt to keep the weeds at bay. Though they are still making an appearance in some places.

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The Daffs are starting to raise above the damp. Well they are in a raised bed anyway.

Soon...
