over the last few weeks i have been busy picking up cardboard boxes, from the local bike shop cutting them open with a hand saw and then its just a case of a dance up and down on the them to get them to fit in the car, these large boxes make a grand mulch for the plot i just spread them out over the ground that has been weeded, i then put some stones on top to hold them down, the rain can still go into the soil so it does know harm, we have one or two bits still to weed and should get them done soon before the weather turns on us at the moment its going up and down one small amount of snow which did not stay, and two mornings were we had frost on the whole we have been very lucky so far but that can all change so fast, i have now got most of my seeds for the 2012 season only things i have still to get are onion sets and shallots plus the rest of my tattie order, for 2012 i will be doing two rows of sweet peas as i only did one row this year and did not do bad with them i had some nice stems, i also did one row of gladioli and got a lot of saisfaction from them as well again i will grow two rows for 2012, the plot should have a good mix of veg and flower then, we do not do a lot of fruit this may change over the years, this is the time of year when we are busy making plans on what we are going to do for the coming year, perhaps change the way we grow some of our crops each year we learn something new.
