2023 - What I did today

Concentrated my efforts on lifting the slices of wood that formed a path beside the old pond. I'd keep them if they weren't so slippery when wet. They're starting to rot now and, if I can get the fork in the right place, bits of log break off. Quite satisfying, especially when the log has been chipped away enough to get the fork under it and lift it out. Unfortunately, instead of just avoiding stepping on slippery wood, I now have to avoid chunks of rotten wood and cunningly disguised holes in the ground. I think there's a plastic membrane under the path too which I want to remove as I want to grow something there next year. The courgettes did well in the sunken pond this year, so I'll probably grow them there next year.
