Lovely sunshiny day -just the weather for a bonfire.
All the bamboo has been burnt, still lots of root to dig up though.
Also burnt all the old pallet fences that separate the middle garden from the end garden where the veggies grow in the glassless greenhouses. Had just enough 6' high chicken wire to run from one end to the other - perfect!!
Dug up lots of plants that were in the way - brambles, elder, honeysuckle and 2 very thorny yellow roses - all consigned to the bonfire.
The only rose that has survived is the thornless Zephirine Drouhine ?sp. I'm going to turn her into cuttings and stick them in along the wire netting.
Also came up with a plan for the 3 joined GHs that are covered in debris netting. Whenever there are strong winds the GHs dismantle themselves. There's also a lot of moss in there and very few raspberries and brassicas. The plan is to remove the netting as its causing more problems than its worth. I'll use the structure for growing beans and tying in raspberries. It was a good idea for several years but hasn't stood the test of time.
