Changing Landscape

The weather is holding at the moment and it really feels as though Spring is almost here. With that in mind we knew we had to get our allotment shaping changed and fast. Before the sowing outdoors/planting season arrived. The story so far:-

Bed 1 - permanent fruit bed, weeded, needs mulch
Bed 2 - last one requiring reshape, weeding and mulch - overwintering brassicas UPDATE - completed 26/2/12
Bed 3 - mulched and ready for potatoes
Bed 4 - split, weeded and mulched ready for legumes
Bed 5 - split, weeded and mulched ready for leeks, trench celery
Bed 6 - weeded, to be mulched - overwintering alliums - UPDATE - completed 26/2/12
Bed 7 - permanent asparagus bed - weeded and mulched
Bed 8 - permanent raspberry bed - weeded and mulched

We bark chipped two of the six paths today. Two are already done. Two need redoing.

By next weekend we should be on top and ready to start thinking about putting in the slabbed area, so that we can sit during the summer months and admire our hard work.
