Busy day today, planted most of the shallot sets.
Dug in some of the cow's manure that's been on some of the
ground over the winter.
Mulched the autumn raspberries with well rotted manure
Which should increase water retention and suppress the weeds.
Watered the fruit trees we planted last autumn, even tho it's winter the ground is dry where there is no mulch, so they need mulching soon.
And I have done lots and lots of hoeing......
Made first contact with my nemisis for 2012 when I was digging today, Horsetail is all over one of our allotments (Allotment 1) which has been in hiding all winter ,waiting......
I ll talk more about Horsetail another time, it is
A big pain in my backside.
Some info on Horsetail
