Here is Episode one!!
Planting planting and more planting
So now the Polytunnel has been skinned we have been able to get in and plant!!
So far now we have planted mangetout, beans, beetroot, carrots, spinach, leeks, rocket, spring onions and salads….
Then James has moved our two new grapevines into the corners, one red one white…
He has also moved all the baby tomato plants, chilli plants and cucumbers in….
and plans to plant the courgette babies etc out there this afternoon!
He and William have been earthing up the potatoes like fury!!
I have plans to weed the onion and shallot bed and the fruit cage this week in between trips out with William to our usual activities!!
Some of the seeds we planted the other week have started to come up so we shall soon need to plant out small broccoli and cauliflower plants etc!! James needs to build the walls for the raised beds soon!!! Well for at least one of them!!
This year we should be able to produce the majority of our fresh food!! James has even won a competition and we have a mushroom kit arriving soon!!!!
William, our toddler, has been super useful with his new wheelbarrow and has been collecting all the rocks from around the Polytunnel!! Hurrah!!
Down to the stream…. The woodland part two
So…. We decided to clamber (ok for me slide down on my arse) down to the stream which is our boundary with the neighbours across the valley.
Down and down we went….. Things got more mossy, damper, warmer, more ferns appeared on the ground….
Then the woodland opened up for the stream….
Our beautiful stream!!!! Clumps of snowdrops…. Pebbles and rocks…. And just beautiful, if a bit boggy round the edges!!!
The before and afters!!!
So….. The path…
It took soooo much work and time and back ache I feel it deserves a before and after shot!!!!
Before…..
After….
So that’s two, no wait we dug one out… Three gates, a tonne of brambles and nettles, tyres, rocks, silage bags, mud, more rocks and rubble to give traction for the gator, digging, hedge cutting, strimming, digging, barrowing, gatoring, oh yes and a mound of cow poop!!!
BUT we can’t now get gator into the back field without running the sheep gauntlet!!
