No dig diary, 16th Feb 2024

We’ve had a lot of rain this week 🙁 Not long ago it felt as though the ground was finally drying out sufficiently that “stuff might usefully be achieved”, but now it’s like the Somme again. Possibly wetter. I need to get these new beds finished though, so I loaded the trailer half-full of compost (to keep the weight down) and dragged it around to the veg plot. Unfortunately I ran out of cardboard so I had to stop early.

I reckon I can use multiple thicknesses of newspaper instead to get it finished though. With a bit of luck I can crack on with that tomorrow morning before it starts bucketing down again.

Elsewhere I have taken sweet peas and lobelia out of the propagator as they’ve already germinated. The sweet peas were only sown six days ago! I should be sowing more tomorrow (once it starts raining) all being well, though there’s a fair bit of other stuff I want to get through too.
