Back to work...

It was our first opportunity to get down to the patch after all the snowy and icy weather. Fortunately everything seems to have survived, although our winter sown Broad Beans and Peas are looking a bit sad !

We spent most of the morning marking out where our new beds are going to be dug, ensuring that there is a strip left as a path between us and our new neighbours.

I then prepared a permanent bed which will be used to grow Asparagus. A trench was dug and filled with well seasoned stable manure ready for planting the crowns which will be delivered in April. I will be growing the variety Dariana from Simpsons Seeds .
