Dodging rain showers

Last week it was the Big Freeze aka the Beast from the East. This week it's rain aka the Pest from the West. But even so we did manage to get the new section uncovered from it's weed membrane and get the beds put in and wood chip laid down.

Of course it doesn't help that the ground here is lower that the rest of the plot and the soil nearly clay in it's structure. I'll dump a load of the soil from the old courgette mound into the beds. Though being lower means it gets a little more of the rain than all the other beds, so maybe it's a little more suited to plants that like getting their feet wet.

We're going to be doing Sweetcorn interspersed with Cape Gooseberries in these beds. We're still trying to figure out what the best use of all the other beds are. We have a load of seeds so we do need to get started on the planting. But we still can't trust the weather just yet. We lost all of the spuds we had chitting in the greenhouses during the Freeze. Guess we'll have to start over again with those.

But of course, it'll have to stop raining first.
