Tidying up the back of the plot was my main goal today, before the weeds go mad. So cleared away the 'shed' area and behind the compost bins. I made a new longer but lower bin and moved the un-composted stuff from bin one into this in layers with the newly cleared greenery.
In bin one there's just over half the bin left and although its' got a fair few bits of plant left in in it, once sieved (must make barrow-riddle) the compost looks very nice. Black crumbly and rich.
This whole thing took hours, also dug over the roots bed, that's ready for sowing after it's had another quick fork over and the sweetcorn area behind the beans is broken up and dug over. Hope the forecast rain will break the soil up and allow the roots to come out easier. Weeded the onion and garlic (a bit) and did some general tidying. It drizzled for about four hours and then got sunny as I planned to leave.
Saw two goldfinches today, I don't often see them. There a top ten Uk garden bird, but I see far rarer birds more often (kingfishers, goldcrests, eagles...)
