Since last posting a lot has happened. I quit my job at the end of April to work self employed gardening. Company name Greendean. Best thing i ever did.

Carried on tidying beds in garden plot, potted up some pansies, blackberry, gooseberry and redcurrant into nursery bed.

Plant Sortout

Still trying to get ahead with jobs before the big rush in spring. The garden plot beds needed sorting out. Some plants needed moving either to make space or spread them out. I tend to plant too close together at times. Some of the grasses have spread out so they needed digging up. The space where the greenhouse was needs filling in with soil. So far i have filled it with turf cut from extending and tidying the edges of the beds.
