Wet Plot

Yesterday we went on a shopping trip to Lidl to take advantage of their garden specials. We cam away with 9 different kinds of seeds, a spade (with long handle), 5 fruit bushes - raspberry(2), gooseberry, blackcurrant, and redcurrant - and 3 packs of weed control membrane.

We also had a van so we went to pick up a few things from our storage container. One being a 2m x 2m x 2m metal cube frame. We had it made for an exhibition we did a few years ago and now it is going to be turned into a fruit cage.



So now one bed is cleared, membrane down, and the frame set up on it, with our 5 fruit bushes planted inside it. MrUrban's dad can get us net from his work so, later in the year, we will do that. We might get some strawberries for the other half of that bed.

It was sooo wet though, we couldn't really get anything else done. The stove wouldn't get going, or the incinerator, and we constantly had huge bricks of mud stuck to our boots. So we did that one bed, hung up some shelves and hooks, and then went home.
