Saturday 13th February
We went after lunch, I put 3 buckets of compost into the stillages by the road and then a box of pumpkins as we have decided we will not use them and one was rotting. Mum harvested parsnip, beetroot, sprouts, turnips and salsify. Dad harvested some leeks, put “tar bands” on the trees (actually green tape with a sticky side) and some other tidying. I put the chilli plants into the composter, tidied the old leaves from the strawberries and dug over an area on the top plot.
Tuesday 9th February
We bought Gardman - insect gard as an alternative to enviromesh at a local garden centre as it was half the price.
Friday 5th February
We went to garden centre at Overton and bought seed potatoes, intending to get less which we did but probably need even less next year!
