I spent a lot of time with my lovely Hoby this weekend, it was just what I needed, I miss him so much during the week days when I'm at work.
Sam and I dug over out new
garden bed today. It was littered with gravel so the traditional spade method
was abandoned and a fork was used to great effect. The clay was so thick and rank
in some areas it smelled of sulphur, not ideal for a vegetable garden. It will
have sand and compost added to it soon.
Along the back bed beside
the caged garden I added two half drums of rotted down horse poo laden with
big, fat, healthy garden worms. I made sure the chooks were locked away as worm don't last long with chooks around. I planted a heap of blue flowered borage plants and a globe artichoke and some lemon balm.
I found a very sad looking rhubarb plant too, I doubt it will survive the chickens love the leaves, odd as they're highly poisonous to humans.
