[growth] plot plot plot
Mar. 2nd, 2019 06:34 pmThe 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:
... which obviously means I have just as long a list of things to do, still, lolsob:
... 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.
- 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???
