Ok I am sorry, i haven't posted for a long while now but here goes a bit of an update:
Finished:
Brocoli, Runner Beans. French Beans, red cabbage, Cauliflower,
Still IN:
Swede, leeks, savoy cabbage,
Recently Planted:
Three rows each of red and white over winter onions - already 3 inches high!
I have ordered stawberry plants and rasperbrry canes, thanks to nic for the brithday money,
I have pruned my gooseberry, and have started to hack at my poor old apple tree.
I also now have a new shed, a big one and a green house, which i cleaned this weekend.
Can't remember if i told you all this but Willy has dug out my ponds and filled in the holes, has dug and rotovated and dug again my plot! and given my a whole tonne of ash to spread with my horse poo to help the soil structure!
Have put in my seed potato order too so will be getting them in January. Yet to put in my big seed order but that will be done next weekend.
then i have to think about making a bed for my soft fruit and laying the slabs around my shed and greenhouse, and making the staging for the green house,

Yo!
Can't beleive it is middle of october already! Been digging again this weekend, took out my beans yesterday and have lots of lovely fresh seed for next year. My compost heap is looking pretty full so i think i am going to have to start a new one to make sure that the original one is rotted down in time for spring! I found a mouse in it too so i am a bit scared to go too near it again! What a daft jessy!
Bought home a couple of Savoy cabbage, yes mum one is for you, and another red cabbag, yes shelly that is so i can pickle you one specially.
Will has offered to level the ground for the green house and get that put up for me, and he has offered to get a fence put up at the front too! bless him, he has saved me about three years work!
