🌿Weeding Frenzy ! 🌿

 Looks good from a distance .

Not so good close up  .

               A really horrible and very depressing mess ....sigh ...

Something got in there and grazed my onion sets down to the grids . Thank goodness I put grids over them . I hope they will come back .

I needed to take off the old chicken wire ....I use it until it becomes rusty and beginning to crumble . I just let it go too far this time .

Also while my back was turned , the weeds sprung up . 

                                                     Weeding frenzy !

I took out all the rusting and ripped chicken wire and  pulled back the netting and filled a couple of wheel barrows with the weeds .

We decided to take out the garlic . 

                               

And replace that end of the vegetable bed with Sprouts ...and maybe sow some carrots  .

Hubby very excited about the garlic ! I said he could have it if he did a bit of raking for me . 

He also did the edges ! Which really made a big difference . 

The Garlic is now drying off on a rack in the shed .

 At some point we stopped for lunch .....and almost a nap ....

Then got back to work .

 I'm starting to feel better about this vegetable bed now , but still a long way to go .

 The weather is said to be getting very warm , followed by possible thunderstorms and heavy rain on Friday  ( 💛🖤Kernow Weather Team 💛🖤)

 This morning it has been very warm with typical Cornish mizzle in the air  .  I can't work when it is hot and really wanted to get this bed sorted before the temperatures rise . Also the vegetable garden will be very grateful for the rain when it comes  .

  So ...

            Lime , chicken pellets , slug pellets and cabbage collars .

                Trod them in good and hard ....to get nice tight sprouts . 

                              I scattered a packet of carrot seeds down ....

             I didn't check to see if they are good companions .

                     Too late now , they had just better get along !  

     .........there are also a couple of rows of chives in this bed .  So pretty and easy to grow from seed .

I pulled the netting back over the whole bed this time . So glad that it could reach to the other end over hoops and the old garden fork in the middle to support it .

This took me most of the day and my head is still spinning from hanging upside down weeding and planting !
