Mothers Day On The Plot

 

Hose unwound, water due to be turned on tomorrow and corner cleared of timber and weed membrane and rubber matting over the area to be dug weeded and covered in woodchips when they finally arrive. Adi the plot holder of plot 2 next door as cut all the grass and weeds down ready for the 2022 season.


Patio cleared of the rubber mats which were a little bit of a trip hazard to be honest.


Malling Juno (early) Raspberries from the D.T.Brown - Long Cropping Raspberry Collection looking lush.


There I was worried about the raspberry canes growing last year and this year I have 5 runners of Malling Juno (early) Raspberries from the D.T.Brown - Long Cropping Raspberry Collection coming up in the path to deal with.


Rhubarb Livingstone from D.T.Brown. looking good, the middle one is catching up slowly.


Corner of the plot has a tidy the timbers are now stacked on the wood pile, the square flower buckets of soil grouped together near the Dalek. Weed membrane and rubber mats cover the area in front of the last two Daleks on the Dalek Army line.


The plan is to erect a 1.8m x 1.8m (6ft x 6ft) Greenhouse frame and clad it with the mesh panels that are currently leaning up against the scaffold tubes in the Raspberry beds to make a structure I can grow climbing vegetables up and perhaps lettuce inside one the vegetables on the 3 sides and roof give some shade. 

Cupido sets in modules in the Plot 1A Greenhouse.



Using some of the white hoops I inherited on the plot to make a mini hoop house over the high level planter with radishes.
