New Year, A better Year.

Frantic Gardener on Jan 3rd 2011

Last year was mostly a write off in the garden, for one reason and another. 2009 was a bit ropey as well IIRC. 2010 will be much better :-)

So a list to start:

1. Finish clearing the area at back of stable, greenhouse.

Finish cutting down the Fig.

Put down black sheet

Prune back the holly some more now berries gone.

2. Clear out greenhouse

Give it a good clean

Fix cracked/broken glass

Fix door

Fix roof openers (struts don’t hold them all open)

3. Put in some sort of elec supply to GH

4. Sort out large propogator onto it’s own stand

5. Sort out other staging - better trays for plants to stand on.

6. Clear:

Brambles etc. at back of greenhouse/vegplot fence.

Elder trees at end of veg plot

regrown back brambles etc. from wall side of veg plot

Clear rubbish from vegplot area, esp wall side

7.  Have bonfire and then black sheet rest of veg plot to stop weed regrowth

8. Construct 4 family beds at the top of veg plot (material? wood plastic?)

9. Put edge down on wall side of main ‘path’ to form bed, so strawberries at least can be planted there.

10. Tidy up/weed and  mulch sheet onto fruit bed whilst most weeds dead. Cover weedy strawberries and leave for this year.

Not much then :-)
