Finally getting things moving

We've been waiting...and waiting...and waiting some more, for the awful weather to pass.  We had snow, then rain, then more snow.  Our original vegetable patch, in the sunniest part of the plot, is also where all the water runoff collects, so it just turned itself into a duck pond as soon as Daniel dug it.  On the plus side, we are going to get some ducks to go in it!  May as well turn it into an actual pond.

So after much consternation and debate, we've moved the veg patch to the other side of the meadow, and Dan has worked his little socks off getting it done before the end of April as panic is setting in about getting the potatoes in.

So we shall be starting an extensive catch-up planting session on Wednesday morning, I just hope we're not too late to get a decent amount of growing in and still get a good harvest in the autumn.

We've also had a bit of a bumper few weeks with finding scraps of wood and fencing.  We are going to be building a LOT of fencing this month, and the less we have to pay for, the better.  We've found fence panels, pallets and scaffolding boards.
