Potatoes looking bountiful.
I really need to buy some of those potato grow bags when I move house.
Arriving to find a large delivery of bark chippings for the garden paths had been helpfully placed on the patio where our new greenhouse was to be constructed. We got stuck in by moving the bark chippings 6ft so Andy and his rag-tag bunch of construction engineers, John, Alfie and Nell could start building a greenhouse.
The beginnings of a Greenhouse.
This particular greenhouse was flatpack-on-steroids and so only the frame was finished today. I expect the panels will be put in soon.
Greenhouse progress by the end of the day.
There have been more hold-ups to vegetable planting. Soil conditioner had been ordered, Andy had been told it was delivered but no soil conditioner was to be seen. The silver lining is that we didn't have to move a couple of tonnes of soil conditioner.
Even without the soil conditioner other jobs had to be done. So myself, Nell and Emma set about evening out the paths with clay and topsoil whilst the greenhouse was being built. Next I turned over the compost pile, which is looking very rich and nutritious.
This was my third visit to the garden and I realised that I have not actually done any sowing, planting or plant-tending. So I was very happy to actually plant some potatoes in the bottom ground-level bed.
An open day is planned next Sunday (16th May), with activities and a chance to meet the people involved. Visit the DulwichDVG Project Dirt page for details.
