Plot B1: Complete (for now…)

Another stunning day, another slog outside. This afternoon (after the ground had unfrozen from the frost) we managed to refill the first plot back up to its original level! What an achievement!

Put like that it seems simple, but the grind of sieving seemingly endless barrow loads of dirt was starting to take its toll by the end.

But its done. Compost folded in. More dirt in. Stomped down. Watered in a bit.

Watching the kitties discover a sprinkler for the first time was quite amusing. Fidget in particular had lots of fun putting paws and head in the streams. And then playing in the mud. Getting very dirty. Again!

Now we should really put the plot to bed properly for winter with a bit of mulch or something, but I’d probably have to get keen with the weed-eater for that, so it can wait. We’ll see how much this lot settles first. Although we do have a batch of tulip bulbs with no place to go, so maybe one end might end up a tulip patch temporarily…

Now. Just two more to go. For now. But it sounds like we’ll have a deck day tomorrow, so we’ll use a few different muscles for a bit, and let the sore ones rest. Hopefully!
