This
shot taken late November shows my new rhubarb, which successfully grew
into a plant this past season and is currently fading away for
winter. Hopefully, with a surrounding of horse muck, it will provide
amply rhubarb for the next 3-5 years. Also in view are some
raspberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries...and the shallots and
garlic that have surfaced.
Looking
back towards the shed, you can see that I have weeded my raspberries
and blueberries, and have several onions shooting through - as well
as a few stray 'spare' garlics that I planted around the fruit area.
Here
we are - I am all ready to get planting in the poly tunnel and
allotment plot for the 2018 season - seed wise that is. As January
faded and February arrived with a full moon and mostly sunny day, the
poly tunnel had still not yet been recovered and the plot not yet dug
over for the new season.
Spring
has sort of arrived though - here is the first snowdrop of the year
in my garden - 3 more have since followed, while Liz has a carpet of
them along with primrose and iris and....
Liz
is sharing her spare wheelbarrow with me - so the shed down the plot
is now quite full! As you can see below, it is now mostly dug over
ready for the 2018 growing season - finally. There remain just a few
weeds around the shed and raspberries at the close of February.
Above
you can see the front patch - which is where I hope to begin planting
in March/April. Also, one of my three raised beds. I plan to use 2.5
for strawberries and 0.5 for nasturtiums. the other two are pictured
below
