I have lifted some paving slabs, gathered up lots of gravel, and then dug over the second old raised bed that had very compacted clay soil, and removed lots of stones/rocks/bricks as I went. Then I've put cardboard over the grass at the bottom end of it and raked the soil. I've planted a very sad looking rhubarb crown into it.
Before that, I pulled up some weeds coming between the slabs in the greenhouse, and then covered one side of the greenhouse with cardboard to try and stop the weeds coming back. I am using all my big boxes to create beds, so this was lots of smaller old food boxes that I started saving while I was still in the hospital accommodation. Didn't have enough to do even a third of the greenhouse, but thankfully I have more stashed away in my dining room ready to use.
I wanted to do more, but I am shattered now! I will have a rest and then try to do my most urgent sowing this evening (the things I soaked overnight).
