A good afternoons work today in the garden.
A bee on the grass, drinking the moisture?
I managed to get a couple of photos before it flew away.
Growth in my raised vegetable beds...just not sure if this is something I have planted or otherwise!
I definitely planted this one, a bean is sprouting.
I've dug this over and put in two short rows of potatoes, partly as an experiment to see if they will grow there.
I've also started two potato bags.
I started work on this area today as I want to clear it and dig it over to plant more potatoes.
A lot of rubbish including old carpet dumped there.
I believe this is a slow worm? I moved him to another spot.
Yes this is the carpet that was dumped and 'hidden' underneath weeds and rubbish.
I dug it all up and until we can take it to the dump, I have folded it up and stacked it in one place.
I dug over the ground in front of the compost bins, and raked up old branches, twigs, stones, rocks, and old bits of plastic and wire. I moved the wooden bins over and put the two plastic bins side by side facing frontwards. Funny thing now is though looking at the pictures I think I actually preferred the bins how they were in the earlier picture! Typical! Still this way will work better for easier access to the openings at the bottom, although in all honesty, it is just as easy to lift the bin up off the compost!
I think the wooden bins still needed levelling up a bit, so I might do that another day.
A pile of stones
The wood and twig pile.
Gosh. It must be warm with you to have bees and a slow worm out and about. I like your tidy piles.
ReplyDeleteIt has been quite warm at times, I have been in the garden wearing a t shirt....although on Wednesday I was tucked up inside with the fire going, so it is variable.
DeleteIt is so satisfying to do things like this around your own home, but you have certainly had your work cut out for you. Well done with what you have achieved so far, it is looking good.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is, especially in this troubling times, good to look to the positive and keep busy.
DeleteGood work! Your unknown seedling is a sycamore...not something you need in the garden!! Lucky you to have a slow worm too, aka a legless lizard...and devoured of slugs 😎
ReplyDeleteThank you, I did wonder if that is what it was, it will be pulled out this morning! I thought it was a bit optimistic for seeds to be sprouting so quickly. I'd never seen a slow worm in real life before so it was wonderful to find one.
