31st May 2022 - Last day of May brings spring ‘22 to an end
We are having some well needed rain, although, to be honest, these light showers, apart from making the ground wet, don’t really provide the plants with a real watering. Infinitely better to have rain than drag out the hose though. We’re all tidy on plot no.1 and almost ready to do battle with plot no.2.
One final task for the spring is to get the last of the wood chip down in front of the polytunnel. It is all a bit of a quagmire here at the moment. This pathway which became very hard and durable very quickly has turned into a skating rink, so the sooner the woodchip goes down, the quicker we’ll save our necks.
Round the back of the plot the potatoes are growing nicely, as are the gooseberries in the distance, although, to be honest, we haven’t really taken much notice of them - there are other more important things to worry about this summer. The wild grasses, weeds and vegetation on plot no.2 are galloping away, so it is time to focus some attention over there now.
That’s a wrap then… spring is over and the next one is the last ever picture of spring from 2022. Everything is enjoying a little bit of the rainy weather, even the Lobelia (in the raised square) has begun to flower now.
Thus far we have managed to dig a hole on plot no. 2, steal some soil, and cut the wild foliage… we have work to do!
