In between the rain, sleet, snow and brilliant sunshine this morning, I took down the remains of the polytunnel. The metal frame was completely bent and broken and the cover was ripped to shreds in places. I removed all the pots and my cold frame. My strawberry plants (wild and cultivated) have all survived but nothing else flourished. I guess my climate just isn't right for growing throughout the Winter or my level of expertise isn't up to it! Probably both!!😄
I moved the Omlet fencing to stop the girls getting onto the stones area. I'll let them eat up the remains of my spinach, cabbages and spring onions that the slugs didn't get. I also found a wee toad so hope he/she finds a new safe place to live away from curious chickens!
It really is a mucky area at the moment so I need to give some serious thought to how I'm going to use this space. It's 3 metres by 3 metres. It gets the sun in the morning and late afternoon in Winter and sun most of the day in Summer. I'm thinking maybe some raised beds for herbs and edible flowers. I'll need do some research on prices first.
