We got halfway which isn't far from my house and saw the roads had puddles all over ??? we had nothing at home, i did think it would be too wet and was going to turn around and go home but didn't in the end.
The ground wasn't too wet for what i wanted to do so we made a start .
My soil is very stony not good for growing carrots and parsnips as when the tap root hits a stone it causes them to fork meaning lots of little roots instead of one long thick one.
They did ok last some did fork though and i wanted to give them a little more attention so me and callum dug out a small trench quite deep then very slowly sieved the soil back in ,we did it in sections rather than one big trench from one side to the other, this was going fine until the heavens opened we ran in to my little shed which is very messy at the moment and both squeezed in , we couldn't run to the car as it was really heavy!!
we were stuck in there for a good 10 minutes so we had a tidy up too .
When the shower had stopped we headed back on to the plot and carried on it took a long time but we got there in the end and sowed a row of parsnip seeds fingers crossed all that hard work pays off !! we then covered the row in fleece to keep the worst of the cold off
In this picture are my onions i put in at the weekend and the parsnips from today
My strawberries are finally showing signs of life
