Fruit & Veg Patch

I paid to have cow manure delivered & covered it with black plastic to prepare the ground so that in Spring we would have a weed free, well nourished spot to start planting. Last week, while we were in Edinburgh, our digger driver arrived to spread out soil & one of our friends (who shall remain unnamed) came up to help. He decided that 'that was a silly place to put the veggie patch' & dutifully scraped up all the manure & dug it into the surrounding garden. Now we have a weed free, manure free area & I've had to beg for some well-rotted horse manure from another friend which hopefully will arrive next week. Just thought I'd start sharing the photos now as preparation gets underway. Our aim is to produce some of our own organic produce with the minimum amount of work.
