It was bright and sunny this afternoon so decided to spend a couple of hours at the plot.
Managed to get the beds sorted at the left hand side of the plot. The beds an paths are the same size as the ones on the other side only they are square to central path, rather than on diagonal. I now have a bucket of displaced growing Japanese onions as where a row was planted fell on one of my path areas. Next time I am at plot I will get them re-planted in a more suitable position.
The soil was very 'claggy' so I left preparing the beds until it is drier.All I did was ease some soil up with the spade along the stringlines to fall inside beds.
To keep it the same as other side of plot I left a two foot bed down the fenceline with a 14 inch path joining the cross paths.
Priority next is to get those onions re-planted, dig up strawberries and replant in another area allowing the bed they were in to be moved.
Here's a piccie of today's work.
