Having cleared the veg patches of dying stuff P has dug over the bare land. I haven't subscribed to 'no dig' yet. Then turned my attention to the fruit cage. I need to reconfigure the raspberry supports, the old ones broke last year and the rasps are rampant. How is it they grow well everywhere they're not wanted and die elsewhere. Anyway, the 4 tier strawberry 'potato' tower needed a haircut and soil topped up, so I took it apart. Now I know where the nice strawberries went , I found mouse nests under two of the layers. No mouse thank goodness. Never did get round to redoing the raspberry supports but at least I ascertained that I need more kit. P dug out the errant canes which are in a bucket of water to eventually fill gaps. Strawberries look really tidy.
