We went down this afternoon to try and tidy the plot up a bit and also start work on the new plot behind (Plot 122). Within 5 mins of being there I got stung by a bee on my arm !! Ouch !!! We cut off all the flower-heads on the broccoli to stimuate more growth, we found one strawberry which was ready, and we weeded around some of the existing plants.
Then we got Great Grandpa's wheelbarrow out and Henry wheeled it to the new plot and we started pulling weeds out and digging it over. I removed the first strip of black matting and put it in the shed for storage. We cleared and area about a metre wide by 3 metres long and then I decided to clear away the bark chippings that were already there and put the matting down underneath to prevent the weeds growing through as they had already started growing through where we just had the bark chippings down wiht nothing underneath. So we covered the front of the plot and by the side of the shed but we now need more bark chippings - we'll have to wait till Mr Tree Surgeon does his cutting and delivers a new load !
