Dug over more of plot on Allotment 1 and Rearranged raised beds to the right hand side of the Greenhouse
Today I went down the allotment for about 4 hours. As it was quite a mild and sunny day it seemed a perfect day to dig more of the plot which I done some more of. The soil is still quite sodden however I was able to dig a few more feet of it and should hopefully only take an hour and a little bit more to dig over the rest of the plot. I will also have to dig where the net is currently positioned over because the brassicas which were planted here during the autumn appear to have not come to anything so I will take these up and re-dig this patch. I also emptied the long raised bed (to the right of the Greenhouse) of all the couch grass and other weeds and gave it a though dig which proved to be difficult to do but got out all the couch grass and roots of all the weeds. I removed all the herbs and couch grass from the square raised bed in front of this and began to dismantle this in order to create a long raised bed which will be the same as the one I have created the other side of the Greenhouse. I now need to have a tidy up of this area and remove all the compost from where it is not needed and this needs to be placed into the raised beds as they are now. However I will need to purchase some attachments for the raised beds in order to make them more sturdy as well as make them both the same colour. Once I have made the raised beds up fully I will then start putting welding down to mark out the paths. I unfortunately have not had time to prune the Gooseberry plants at this time so this will need to be done at some point when I go back down to the Allotment. The weather today was a mild day with temperatures near to double figures and it was sunny however rain is expected overnight and this will bring a cold front with some wind tomorrow and temperatures falling again making it very chilly and bring the possibility of some wintry showers. It is then expected to remain cold for the remainder of the week.
