beoming fruitful

Sunday 9th March

Arrived soon after nine this morning. It’s now after four. I’ve achieved loads here today. I finished the currant bed, digging and transplanting from other area into it. I planted my shallots. Then I fixed posts and wire for summer raspberries to be supported by. This alerted me to other fruit needs, so I weeded the strawberry bed and transplanted the baby gooseberry bushes so that they are better spaced. Then I fed raspberries, gooseberries and strawberries with my own compost and rhubarb with the last of the extremely well-rotted manure after which I continued to dig my onion bed but realised that I’m tired, so I’ve stopped for tea and cake!
