I've finally got the final two beds at the front sorted. It's taken a day longer because I had to dig out all the Bindweed rhizomes and the Couch Grass roots right next to the new path. It took a bit of digging but finally got it sorted.
We now have four 10ft beds along the front of the plot. The first two are strawberries. One from last year, and the second newly planted from all the mother plants over wintered in the greenhouse. The Wife definitely wants her Strawberry Empire.
The third bed will be beetroot (currently sown in the greenhouse), and the final one has been seeded directly with turnips.
A lot of the soil from the old mound got shifted into potato bags. So now it's time to plat the 'Taters.' We prefer Maris Peer potatoes rather than any of the other varieties. They may be going in a little late, but that no problem.
Although, we seem to have far more seed spuds than we thought. So I guess we'll have to find a few more places to drop the spuds in. But you can never have too many 'Taters, Precious.
It looks like tomorrow may well be a construction day. Time to get new kit and get building.
