There were four of us today - me, Nat, Simon & Ellie. We managed to get a surprising amount done in the time. Here's Simon & Ellie earthing up the potatoes. We've got another lot of potatoes to go in some time soon as well, but the first lot had suddenly reached the point where they needed some earthing.



Ellie & Nat also set to with the shears on the weeds in the orchard area, so you can now get through to the soft fruit cage again!


The final main achievement of the day was creating a double compost heap from some wood that the hospice were clearing out last weekend. Why double? So that you've got one side rotting down nicely and one side that you're actively adding to...

Other odds & ends: I finally planted out a couple of rows of broad beans, next to the dwarf beans. The sweetcorn is now out as well - I read that it doesn't like being handled, so I hope it's not too unhappy!

One final thing: we now have a shared Google calendar to co-ordinate activity: ask M-A for details if you haven't had an email already.
