Well the news is that the potager - veg/fruit garden - is now fenced to keep the les chiens - dogs - from digging holes where they shouldn't! Hubby has done an amazing job with the fencing in the garden, both around the boundary and around the potager, although I've helped as much as I can, helping to unroll the stock fencing and wiring the stock fencing to the tensioning wire. I've spent a lot of the last 3 weeks digging out firstly the brassicas from B'rassic park, and then digging out all the perennial weeds like thistles and layering the compost heaps!
Today all this work has paid off and the garden finally has it's first properly dug and planted veg patch!
Now ok it doesn't look like much, but the most important thing for me is that none of these plants have cost me a penny! They are potato plants that have obviously germinated from last years crop that were missed when they were dug up and I found them spread across the veg plot so have dug them up and relocated them. Not ideal, but they are free and if we get any potatoes from them then that's a bonus!
There are chard plants in the garden too and there were a very few leeks which I dug and served with some chard leaves to hubby last night as part of our evening meal. I do love getting something for nothing, especially when it's healthy!!
So all in all today has been a win win situation. Tomorrow I'll talk shopping.
