Masterplan 2008/2009

This is the plan I think I am going to work to for next year.

Rotational beds are numbered to help me remember to rotate. Let see if it works.

Apple tree and more digging in the rain

Went down to dig some more, ground is pretty hard, needs rain. I would have preferred the rain in advance of my visit, rather than during the digging. It chucked it down so I had to knock it on the head after an hour and a half. Some of the dock roots must have been 50-70cm long and really tough to get out, hopefully I am getting them all out. The bed I dug today will need forking over and re-weeding for remaining couch roots etc after it's had a few days rain on it to loosen the soil a bit.

Got a free apple tree (2 y.o.) from an abandoned plot which is a result. They cost about £15. I've put it in the bottom r-h corner as a temporary measure, it'll go up the back left nearer the plum trees and fruit bushes.

Saw a Grey Wagtail out of the kitchen window. They normally like fast flowing streams, perhaps it's lost.
