The allotment is too wet to dig, but harvested some leeks. Then strode about purposefully making grand plans for this year
At home replaced the wooden edges for 3 of the raised beds at home (with help from the better half). Also made a new bed along the edge of the greenhouse - maybe for herbs & salads - not decided yet. Now the remaining 4 look really shabby so could be doing them soon
Also done a massive spring clean in the garden, cut back old stems and chucked pelleted chicken poo about to try and replace some of the nitrogen the winter rain has washed away. Loads coming up - snowdrops, daffs, tulips and alliums all romping up. Hellebores just starting to flowers. I cut back some penstemmon just to keep them in check and even they had buds on
Cleaned out the chicks and found them lots of slugs, snails and other chicky delights all day while gardening, so they have gone to bed very happy.
Just had a massive roast dinner and feeling knackered and very full. I think I could be in severe danger of nodding off on the sofa later, glass of wine in hand. Doesn't get much better than that in my book

We built the raised beds together and I did my fair share thank you very much
