Thursday project, all going well

Thursday project, all going well

I go to work on the Dart each day. The mornings have been showing a slight improvement in brightening up, lately. But what a difference to day, big improvement in brightness level, and fist signs of a red  sky coloured by the rising Sun, that is a first since last year, great to see it.

It was a cold but truly beautiful day. I am working the weekend, so am off till then. Plans are set to get stuck into the wilderness tomorrow. I plan to cut and clear as much as possible. Then hope to get a rotavator in next week to create a veg area sorted, This bed will be about 30' x 4'

Then at the end of the year will turn it into a raised bed. Don't have the time now, as main tasks in sight are to get this area sorted and the work area behind the shed finished, along with keeping all else looking good.

Then Friday, a little me time, in Johnstown garden centre is on the cards.

Oh Yea, I like the Friday bit.  Great plans. Good luck with them.

You will deserve a little treat if you get all that work done Fran. Good luck.

Fran, those two belfast sinks could look great either side of your patio door planted up with herbs so Maria doesnt get too wet on a rainy day (or yourself, if you are cooking dinner!!!!!!!!!!).  :)

Lots of plans which will turn this into a real bonus area, like Jacinta's idea of the herbs in the sinks at the patio door very handy. Remember garden centre's are dangerous places. Are you as impulsive as us women?

I suppose a few things will find their way home with you from the Garden Centre! Good luck with all the plans!

You have your work cut out but if it's like the rest of your garden it will turn out super.  Enjoy the shopping
