2025 - What I did today

Yesterday helped P fix the pull swith in the bathroom which failed the night before and then, fair exchange, he finished the top veg patch digging for me. Some time spent 'declodding' trying to get a tilth to sow carrots. The sun and wind has dried the clods rock hard, so there was a lot of bashing going on. One edge of the bed is next to a hedge and the grass path between hedge and bed is now too narrow for the mower to pass easily it also slopes down towards the bare soil making mowing difficult. The soil in the patch is also well above all the surrounding paths due to years of manure and compost additions. We set some scaffold planks on edge inbound of the patch edge to hold soil in and backfilled the other side to increase the width of the path. The new path isn't level as we haven't corrected the slope but at least the mower wheels won't fall of into the abyss every time P mows. I might even get round to planting out and soing today
