March 1st

Standard

Weather more average for the time of year.  Cleaned half of the greenhouse glass today.  Cleared some ivy from the wall behind where I’ve planted two thornless blackberries and a logan/Boysen berry.

Moved on to the compost heap which is more erm ‘informal’ .  At the bottom of this big pile of discarded plat clippings going back a few years now is some decent compost.  It is probably riddled with weed seeds.   I’ve pulled out the  invasive nettle roots already springing forth and riddled the compost underneath which is being used to sow seeds.

Sowed carrot in the greenhouse – Amsterdam Forcing (early) and some basil for the kitchen.
