This is my blog to record the process of taking over an overgrown plot and all it entails!

Week 4

This is how the plot looks at the start of week 4. Not much has changed as I have been ill with a cold for the past week.



Some winter bedding plants have been put into the flower beds as well as spring bulbs and a couple of other plants.


Just behind the flower bed the plastic has been moved back by about 1 meter to allow planting of garlic and onions. It has been weeded twice but the plot is full of weeds with long tap roots! It will be a never-ending battle to keep on top of them I think!

We also dug out a lot of bulbs which we assume are spring flowering bulbs, many are going to be transplanted into the garden at home, mainly because I am curious as to what they are (although some appear to be crocuses)



View from the shed (which we have now discovered leaks!) Weeding at this end has been a bit easier, it is mainly grass weeds here rather than the horsetail, buttercup and dandelion that plagues the rest of the plot.

We will continue to keep working on the plot as long as the weather allows us to.
