kaberett: A birds'-eye view of an Aeonium tabuliforme in a blue ceramic pot. (succulents)
The post this morning brought my permit to erect a structure on my plot; I therefore headed over early this afternoon. I achieved using all the secateurs, and specifically:
  • got somewhere over half of the dead teasel into the compost bin (Dealing With the teasel is a prerequisite for setting the greenhouse up)
  • pruned the jostaberry and became reluctantly convinced that it really is going to take me several years to get it back into a reasonable shape, but Never Mind Eh
  • discovered a bit of jostaberry that I... need to layer, which DOES AT LEAST save me the angst about But Do I Like It Enough To Want Another One.
  • pruned the gooseberry a very little and decided I need to give it some protection some way or another
  • put out the misc pizza boxes as weed-suppression and weighted them down with wood
  • fed the bin A Lot
  • weeded a small patch under the cherry tree (slightly half-heartedly) and put most of the saffron corms in
  • ... put more saffron corms in around the bay tree in its pot at home


... which obviously means I have just as long a list of things to do, still, lolsob:
  • actually... locate and layer the jostaberry as desired, which means I need to decide where it's going
  • which means I need to measure up the space I want to put the greenhouse in and confirm it's large enough for the greenhouse
  • and then clear and level it
  • ideally by next Saturday
  • ... okay and also prune the redcurrant
  • and manure all the Ribes
  • mulch the saffron so they don't just drown in weeds (and/or decide to turn the patch into a tiny wildflower meadow and put the poppy in)
  • measure out the raised beds
  • make??? and fill in??? the raised beds???


... also I have hopefully got some chilli started at home, and need to think about starting some bell pepper, and have decided I do after all want to get the peas started at home in egg boxes (two varieties), and ahhhhhhhh suddenly Everything Happens.
