6. Heat Wave

Progress was slow last week. I have been checking and watering the strawberries regularly, but that is about all to be honest!

The row of already dug weeds has been sorted and thrown on the heap to decompose. I say heap as we have three composters made of pallets that were already here. We have filled them. Then there is the pile of the strimmed weeds which is about 10 ft by 4ft! (I may be exaggerating here, I am useless at judging distances etc). And finally the heap of dug weeds and roots which is a mini mountain next to the raised bed. Soon we will have more space covered by decomposing waste than beds for planting!

Me and Matt did make it on Saturday afternoon to deliver more bottles of water for the strawberries to save me carrying them from work on my bike. It was so hot though, we couldn't even contemplate working.

Yesterday I was all ready to dig another trench when I realised I had the thin soled trainers on. Getting to be a common excuse that one!

Tomorrow is my day off so I am planning a proper digging session...just got to put some good music on my phone!
