Yet more diggin'

More digging down the plot, have done enough now to accomodate the 5 rows of lates which I aim to put in over a few days.

Tidied Mrs Digger's strawberry patch, (the old one, not the new one I've just put in!).

Started preparing the greenhouse for the tomatoes. Going direct in the soil this year as I've got 2 compost bins that I've not touched for 5 years or so. The compost at the bottom is almost black - looks a bit of good stuff!

Heaved most of it out into the beds and begun to dig it in. The aim is to keep turning it and watering it for a few days to get it well dug in and raise the moisture level before planting the toms. Will throw in some chicken manure for good measure.
