Finished digging over vacant part of Allotment 1

Today I went down the Allotments and continued to dig the plot on Allotment 1 despite it still being quite soggy due to the frost that we had overnight. I have now finished the digging over of the vacant part of the plot however I will have to re-dig where I put the Brassicas in during the Autumn as these have died off and this will be done at some time in the near future. I also had a quick tidy up of the Greenhouse and went for a trip to the tip once again to take some more of the rubbish away however this is likely to need at least 1 possibly two more trips. I will need to get the items for the raised beds (doweling and straight links) in order to fit them together, so that I can then fill them with compost (some I am planning to take from the allotment site compost heap) and I will then weedliner and mulch this part of the allotment (possibly with bark chipping I have got from last year, currently sited in the greenhouse). Also I still need to prune the Gooseberry bushes as well as put some manure around them. I also need to put some manure into the ground that I have already dug over. I have still got about 40 feet to dig on Allotment 2 and this will be done over the next couple of months subject to the weather conditions. In addition to this sometime around March/April I will move the Polytunnel over to Allotment 2 in order to give more space on Allotment 1 and it will also be easier to put a cover on over on the Allotment. The weather overnight was a mild frost, and today it was a nice sunny day but feeling very cold in a cold north to north westerly, however this late afternoon we experienced our first heavy snow, and therefore has made the ground even further sodden than it already was so it is looking unlikely I will be over the allotment tomorrow. The forecast overnight is the possibility of more snow showers and another frost. Tomorrow's weather is expected to be showery in the morning (mostly of rain) before it drying up and being another sunny but cold day with a northerly wind and temperatures being a couple of degree's higher than today.
