more seedlings

The broccoli and tomato seeds are already sprouting little seedlings on the windows!  The potatoes are also chitting quite nicely.  The weather has been fantastic today so I have popped down the gardenfor an hour to dig the trenches for the potatoes.  This was very hard work so it was a good job gran was around with a cup of tea at the end!

Preparation

Ok....the first job I guess was to dig over the patch of land that we are going to use for our allotment / vegetable garden and remove all the weeds.    This was no easy task - our 'allotment' consists of two strips of land.  The first strip being 2m x 8m and the second strip being 3m x 9.5m.  Once dug over I have removed all large stones and thoroughly raked over to create a nice fine topsoil for us to plant our vegetables.  The start of Vegetable growing in shrewsbury SY1.
