We set to work on the rotational beds and figured we get plenty of digging done before lunch (with the odd cup of tea to keep us going) , then in the afternoon we'd do a bit more, but also burn the big pile of grass/brambles, etc I'd collected and also have a go with the Kelly Kettle.
It was a perfect day, cold but sunny and the ground had dried out, so it was better for pulling the roots up. Here we are both hard at work.
Ali and Gerty came to say hello and it did seem as if the good weather had got plenty of people out on their allotments.
Anyway, after lunch we drudged back with all our 'equipment' and the following photo's give you an idea of what we got up to !!!
Mike chopping the wood and getting the fire going before we put that big pile to his right on it.
A little bit of smoke(oops) and in the foreground, the Kelly Kettle almost ready to give us each a cup of tea!
Up close. The Kelly Kettle, so thank you to Karen's parents for the Christmas present.
Here we are taking it easy, admiring all our hard work and of course, making sure the fire burns down safely.So after a great day's effort, the plot is now two thirds completed, which is superb. Here's the final photo's of the work. Well done to us.
Both taken from the West side of the plot, from each corner looking up to the East.
With luck the weather will give me a chance to complete all the digging during February, but if the last 2 days is anything to go by, after all the snow we've had, I'm not so sure. Anyway, fingers crossed...and THANKS MIKE !!
