Getting SFG Bed 1 Ready for Sowing

 

After a week of home office clearance I'm back on the allotment and what a difference a week can make in terms of weeds especially at the end of March as true spring starts to show itself. Photo above is Square Foot Gardening Bed 1 with the debris netting removed and uncovered, and as the warmer weather and sun has arrived the allotment plot has started to weed up including the woodchip margins around the paving slabs and the raised bed timbers. 

Weeded Bed and margin, the woodchip has rotted down to life supporting soil and needs excavating and replacing when I can arrange for some path worthy woodchips to be dropped off. The woodchips in the lower section of the raised bed have obviously rotted down and the level of the soil in the bed has dropped. next visit I will add a couple of bags of compost to this raised bed. 

The All Gold Raspberries have started to come up on the boundary beds. 

All Gold Raspberries coming up in the main path but theses will be trimmed back by myself and idverde when they cut the main path each month.
