A Little Weeding

I must say, it was extremely nice to be out in the fresh (very fresh!!) air today instead of in windowless rooms in courthouses!
It only rained a little bit here and there, but it was the blustery winter wind that was more of the challenge! Brrrrr

My first patch of the early garlic is coming along really well! I will need to get on and restock with seaweed grass to mulch it in the near future. Its really held the weeds at bay in the cabbage patch, so I have to stir myself to get this done!

My parsley is taking over the world

So… you want to see how completely dreadful my garden is???

Its overwhelming isn’t it??
I really just have to break it down into sections and try not to look at it as one big project.
Today I thought I would go with sorting out the raised beds.

I need to top this one up with some decent compost. Still… the random potatoes that grew in here were marvellous!

Tomatoes well and truly dead. Time to salvage the stakes and ties and dig it all up! (Oh… but leaving that parsley plant alone – you know, because I don’t have enough)

This third round of late corn would have gone well if not for the abrupt change of season this year. Never mind. It was good to see how it progressed at that time of year.
I pulled everything out but the lettuce – more self seeded plants
Then I put a couple of the frames back in and covered them up to help shelter them from the crazy wind.

In other garden news… my leek patch doing well. Might even pick some soon!

I ate this bit of asparagus:

The couple of potatoes I put into the hothouse have sprung up well!

The tulip bulbs are poking up already!
And whats this??

I’ll find a spot to put it in to find out the old fashioned way if no-one can tell me! 🙂

Pip enjoyed a bit of a snooze in the sunshine for a while!

Its pretty chilly tonight, thats for sure. Its only about 2C but feels like -2!
Keeping the fire going and rugged up with my crochet!

Hope everybody’s weekend is fantastic
Cheers

    1. I guess I will eventually find out what the bulb is!! 🙂
      Thanks re weeding. Looks like a pretty nice day out there so far. Might have to get out again and do something productive! Have a lovely Sunday.
