After emptying it the other day and washing out and placing it in the shed.

I placed some straw inside and then added some green stuff with the worms in, so going to add a bit more and cardboard on top and give it a drink just to damp it down a bit.

We had some rain lately so have not been outside to do any gardening or picking of Rhubarb which will be the last I think might get one more out of it.

 

Going to make some more comfrey tea later this week have some in the shed already, particularly good for all plants in your garden.

Well the weather has been nice for a change

And I wanted some things for a long time and the postman turn up with them the other day

 

 

 

 

So next season I be able to start on time to grow things

Been lovely weather we got a new cherry tree and an apple and some lavender for the garden might get a pear and a damson then that should be all that we need for the garden hopefully.

We had another couple of nice days so we planted an apple tree and a cheery tree and the kind digger man also dug out our fish pond and the soil went into my long planter so I can start sowing in it now

Already for me to plant into now looking forward to planning what to plant into now

Pond in the making

 

 Well started planting and sowing welsh onion wild garlic and 2 rows of spring onion Arrow and Evergreen ones never done them before  think I left enough room for some more garlic hard neck when it comes and some leeks  once I sown them

 

My daffodils have arrived 60 in all lovely mixture will look lovely in spring not sure were to plant in pots or the ground as my ground is very hard to plant in

 

It’s been raining a lot here so not much gardening has been done lately still no sign of my rosemary seedling s have come up so might have to buy some young plugs maybe?

The other day my butterfly bush  came up though the ground which I planted last year thinking it would not came through as it was so small so this year got another one and remembered to potted this one on so will planting it out soon

ready for next spring  got rosemary in there but no sign of germination
