Well! Happy New Year to you all! We had a busy start to 2012 this weekend. A lot of clearing up needed to be done to start with as the high winds had a made a bit of a mess in the Garden. All the willow structures are now tied down to the fence so we can use them again later this year.
Plenty of seeds were planted! We are experimenting with planting some tomatoes, herbs, radishes and beans early inside the polytunnel. So far, the potatoes and leeks we planted before christmas are doing very well inside the tunnel so we have high hopes for an early crop.
The bean bed was finally lined with weed control matting and we will be adding nutrients to the soil over the next few weeks to prepare the soil for the new plants.
Lastly we topped up some of the bird feeders. We also found that some of the bird seed had started to sprout due to the damp conditions in the bottles. We gogt rid of these bottles but have planted some of the seeds in pots to see what they do. We shall wait and see what comes of them....
Next week we will be moving the compost bins to warmer parts of the Garden to help it rot down quicker.
