Well spring is here and as we're stuck at home we are really going to try to get a good veggie patch going this year.
I have black plastic'ed 2 areas, cardboard and strawed others and I also have a little hoop house pu for my lettuces to try to keep the chickens off! Big jobs at the moment are getting a fence up asap so that we can plant without worrying about the little boogers pulling everything up! This week we also moved one of the 1000L tanks from the house and made it lower than the one still contected to the gutters so that we can just run the water from one to the other and have water right on hand (it is very expensive here and has been an issue with the garden in previous years trying to not use too much and the tanks were too far away!). I have also bought some extra hoops and am going to cover with fleece so I can get my Swiss Chard in quickly!
