Raised beds & Muddy boots

As far as leaving a trail of mud on the kitchen floor is concerned, I am the guilty culprit. I'm afraid dirt & I go hand in hand. Today was a glorious example of how rewarding it is to get the spade out and immerse oneself in fresh air and birdsong. Our good friend Andy helped create a long raised bed for all of the heritage & organic veg seeds we have collected. I planted numerous tulips and gladioli and wildflowers. The medecinal herbal areas are growing satisfactorily, but I can see that this year we will need better irrigation. All of the extra manure that was put over the herbal area has mulched down well and the crocus bulbs and irises, daffodils and hyacinths are all benefitting from extra nutrients. Bring on the sunshine...

Obtain a yield

Enjoyed our monthly skill share @ No 10, making paper pots from newspaper ready to hold seedlings. Everyone was chatting and sharing news! Loved making it real by planting up our paper pots with organic tomato seeds. We finished up by taking the pots over to our friend Melanie's pretty outdoor terrace, who will be keeping an eye on their growth before we transplant them into everyone's respective gardens, terraces, flats, allotments and farms! Looking forward to seeing them grow!
