Digging Done

We finished all the digging! As well as digging up the lawn, we also added some new top soil to the beds. This is a picture of it in front of our garage. We had to use a wheelbarrow to move it all into the back garden. This soil is half soil and half compost so it will provide lots of nutrients for the plants.

I have planted garlic, onion, spinach and pea seeds outside so far. I have also planted cauliflowers inside. I am also chitting some potatoes. This means that I am leaving some potatoes in the sun, inside so they are warm, to encourage them to sprout shoots. You might see this happen if you have had some potatoes in your kitchen for some time. Hopefully, this will mean lots of delicious vegetables later in the year. This is a picture of the finished beds. You can just about make out pieces of string which show where I planted the seeds.

I have covered some of the soil with boards. This covers some of the area where I haven't planted seeds and should help stop any weeds from growing.
