Its nothing like this!
It's a brand new site, previously part of a field, covered in nettles, thistles, couch grass, blackberry, the occasional viola, oil seed rape and, in parts, so compact from the digger it needs a pick axe to break it up. But, its ours!We had 2 hours there this morning weeding.
It'll take 2 days to recover!
I've had a Radox bath, I'm about to take some ibuprofen & I'm trying to keep moving.
I'm trying to stay motivated by picturing all the lovely things I can grow to turn into jam & pickles. Obviously there will be no return this year but my garden at home is bursting with raspberries, rhubarb, gooseberries already & the cabbages, beans & peas are coming along a treat.
Can't wait to get my shed, it might just be the highlight of the month! Unfortunately the rules say it has to be brown otherwise I'd have one like this:
This would be perfect though!
Oh, and it'll be gooseberry & elderflower jam this month! Second only to my strawberry jam in gorgeousness.
