Ive only been down a couple of times since my last blog entry been a bit too busy to go down ,me and callum went last sunday morning to dig in some of the horse manure ,however when i arrived there were more weeds than expected so spent more time there than intended .
The strawberries were the worst for weeds it took quite a long time to weed around them but they looked so much better after, then it was time for digging in the manure i was going to leave it to rot down over winter but it looked such a mess i decided to dig it in we managed to get quite a bit down that day.
Today i took callum again intending to clear the shed out and dig the rest in ... things didn't work out that way though .
First my allotment neighbours were there this morning i have only met the lady once this time her husband was there too had a chat for a while which was nice :) i decided at that point it was too embarrassing to sort out my shed imagine open door and things fall out!!
So we started digging until another plot holder called me over ,a few weeks ago he asked if i would like some redcurrant bushes i said i would really like them but didn't have room then as where i wanted to plant them i had a pumpkin plant growing. Today when he asked i had a lovely space next to my blackcurrant bushes so i was more than happy to take some, he gave me 2 large bushes and 2 baby ones took me a while but got them planted :)
We did get some more digging done and im pleased to report the weeds had subsided :) but im sure they will return when it rains !!
The manure has really improved the soil as you can see from the above picture ,never enough time to spend there hopefully ill get chance next week to visit again a year in and im still not fed up .. bring on spring time :)
