For this weeks installment... Been a long week at work again this week, limited time down lottie, so rich has been busy. Went down tonight and hoe'd the beds,sycthed the nettles (Which where growing back again) and cut back the brambles..
First thing I did was to hoe the beds, the leeks are looking fabulous (As is richards raising of the bed)..
These leeks are strong, as is the smell wafting from the bed, kind of a strange garlicy onion smell, no danger of vampires here people!. Below is the view of the bed being raised Richard has done a great job here..
What else...Well the beans are definitley growing now and launched a few more inches in a week...Amazing what a bit of rain and some sunshine does!
As you can see they are brave enough to stand up on their own without any netting!.
I hacked out some more brambles tonight, just to clear a bit more the greenhouse area, in the process I picked some fantastic berries..
The cleared area looks a bit like this now...
So we are getting there...That mound on the left is cut out brambles...Some an inch thick and 10feet long..What a job..
At the epicentre of the clearing we are looking like this, remember this is six feet high..
It is manic in there...I won't be around much next week in Boston (US) with work so next update will be sunday... Lets see what a difference the week makes..
