Back at the plot for a couple of hours this afternoon. I need to strip out a bed of late strawberries , but I need somewhere to re-plant them.
I have decided I will plant them around my soft fruit bushes on the edge of the plot. Today I started the arduous task of de-weeding and de-stoning this two foot wide bed. it was slow progress but in the couple of hours I had I managed to get quite a bit of it turned over.
It seems the logical place to put the strawberries and I don't know why I didn't think of it before.
Because I have another two foot wide border on the other edge of the plot with nothing growing in it, and I have quite a few spuds chitting at home, I may plant this up with spuds? Not sure yet, but whatever is going in it will need de-stoneing so I may as well de-weed it at the same time.
The piccies will hopefully be The bed I was working on, the heap of weeds I got from it, the heap of stones I got from it and the other side of the plot with the two prepared and planted beds in the middle and the others roughed out......Oh, and the existing bed of strawberries that need moving.
