Got a lot done today, despite a downpour around noon that turned the bare clay soil into a slippery death-trap!
- Put in a couple of vine eyes and attached the mini greenhouse to the fence in the corner of the patio so it can't blow over (unless we have a hurricane, in which case all bets are off!)
- Put my non-tender seedlings (broad beans, beetroot, various flowers) in the mini greenhouse to harden off
- Adjusted the position of one of the raised beds - because a path that narrows by 2-3" as you cross the intersection is a barked shin waiting to happen!
- Screwed down the coping on the raised beds, bc Mr E had drilled all the necessary holes but only put the end screws in
- Levelled the path in front of the conservatory where I'd removed some terracotta paving slabs
- Placed paving slabs as "stepping stones" across future lawn area to get a feel for the layout
- Laid cardboard on the paths and put down the rest of the bark - need to buy more of the latter tomorrow!
- With Mr E's help, filled the remaining two raised beds with the compost that arrived at lunchtime
- Stacked the empty compost sacks behind the shed in case they come in handy later
