Saturday Morning

 

With Bed 16A being completed on Tuesday 17th Feb, and with rain every day since I looked at Plot 1 and decided where to attack first.

It looks as if Basil and his mates have been roaming around the allotment and knocking over things again! I sent this photo to my girls and they thought it must have been more than one fox. 

 

They sent back this ChatGPT AI created image. They look much cuter and smaller than the two that we have living on the allotment site. 

I was presented with two possible options. One was to start excavation of the humus material from bed 14 & 14A and decanting into the 30L pots with handles or ....

To clear one of the narrow beds that were built on the boarder of Plot 1 and Plot 2, Marked H1 & H2 on the plan. I decided to work on H1 and as can be seen there was a step and difference in level between the two plots 1 & 1A as indicated by the different levels of the path either side of the H1 Bed in the photo above.

I've always thought if the plots were ever to be split again, then the H1 Beds would form the end of Plot 1A  

I started clearing the solar tents and the watering spikes and pulling up the bind weed and other weeds around an in the bed. 

Laying the 2.4m (8 foot) scaffold board on top of the framing it shows that I will need to cut boards the total width of the H1 bed and I will also need to remove the metal banding at one end of the 2.4m boards so I can drill and screw the scaffold boards together to make the frames for the raised beds.
