The last couple of days have been much colder !! The main thing though is it has stayed dry !!!!
I have managed to keep digging on the plot, although today I only got a bit about 18" x 18' dug . The reason for this was I had to dig a load of gravel out of the river, for the floor of my shed. I have to carry it in buckets for about 100 yards uphill in mud , so I can only do relatively small amounts. However it will only take a few days to get enough gravel to finish the floor , handy having a continual supply of gravel ,handy but hard work !!! lol. After I have finished the floor I can get back to digging the plot full time. They said on the weather that it was going to stay dry till the middle of next week at least..( with luck !! ), so I should be able to get the veggie plot dug completely. After that is done it will just be the digging of the sections for the grain . I measured them roughly today and they will be 8'x60', 4 of them . I also have to dig the ground for the comfrey plot !! , there is about 40'x15' of that left to dig. OMG !!!!! lots of digging left to do then ? The grain plots and the rest of the comfrey plot are all virgin ground too......so very hard work . At this time I can only hope I get it all done ...but at least the veggie plot will be up and running again . One more thing , I am now running out of digging tools .....the handles keep breaking .....I will have to make some new ones. Just one more job to add to the always ever increasing list .......
