Getting a lot done in a day

Today was a good day, the first long amount of time we have spent at Plot 60.

First we cleared a load of the rubbish and then we got down to one of the two main tasks for the day - the shed roof. That all went well, all we have to do now if wait for it to rain and see if it leaks.

Next came the fence, which was as easy as we hoped. The fence posts were mostly stable so we could just screw the panels back on to them. And then came one of those things that you do and it starts off a chain reaction. There was a piece of wood on the floor where we wanted the gate to go, and it was going to make it arkward to take the wheelbarrow in and out of the plot to the skip etc.

So . . . we tried to lift the bit of wood and it wouldn't come up. This was because the end of it was underneath a door that was lying on the floor. So we lifted up the door, to try and get the wood out. And it was still underneath something, quite what we couldn't see at first. Turns out it was a bit of heras fence with grass growing though and over it, which was fun to prise up, then under that? Pieces of glass, several wrought iron gates, and a big puddle with 2 toads and 4 frogs in it. We managed to drag it all out of that way and at least this now meant that we had several gates to choose from.

Later we put the greenhouse to use and laid the potatoes out to chit, and planted some sweet pea, carrot, and salad seeds.
