I have been very acquainted with the shovel this week .

Gardener:The flower lady

Date:01 Oct 2020

My plan for daily blogs has just not been happening , but that is not to say that things are not coming along nicely .

My compost next to the tunnel house is to dry , so I have created a slightly bigger compost bin and turned the lot , Its a good thing I already have tough hands , because after that we moved our sawdust pile half to the flower field and half to the new no dig site , that was around 7 cubic meters , big job and great exercise , I was lucky to have a friend to help .

We also had a huge tractor in to seed a paddock with horse blend seed , By far the biggest tractor we have ever had on site , I got to jump up and have a look into the workings of the seeder , very cool indeed . 

I had a wee bit of frost damage , my dahlia seedlings and some of my xmas lilies so I thought the seedlings were protected in the green house but sadly no , I may have to buy more seed :( .

The weather is pretty calm today so I am going to head out and spread some maunure and sawdust .
