Plodding on then....

Started out with an mot job first off this morning then started building a table for the birds in the garden, got a family of black birds & a couple of robins, 4 crows 2 magpies & four pigeons plus 2 grey squirrels if the cats leave them alone plus a family of foxes that reside in my garden.
Just love sitting out there in evening watching the world go by & relaxing, it's quite a big garden & can also take up a lot of time to keep it in tip top condition.
I wouldn't like to guess how big it is but it ain't massive, probably 2 tennis pitches long & about 20ft wide give & take, it also goes downhill away the from the house.
I've got loads of plans for this garden in mind, put up both sheds & now 2 greenhouses so the next thing is to plan a vegetable patch where I intend to grow potatoes, leeks, onions, radishes & the likes of.

I've been given some sound advice on poly tunnels by a few friends who have allotments but might just go for some reasonable sized cold frames, that I've yet to decide upon & besides which it's almost nearing the end of August & Autumn is only around the corner.
Almost finished clearing the ground but got a fair bit to do with getting rid of tree stumps, these are going to take awhile to do but will give more room later on, they are mainly Hawthorne, mountain ash & elderberry trees that are a nuisance to get rid of, I found one way was to dig around the stumps exposing the roots & then putting weedkiller in powder form around the roots & then pour in some boiling water from the kettle & leave them for about a week or so then just lift the stumps out & fill in the hole in the ground afterwards, this has work for me in the past when digging out privet hedges, so we shall see how it works with the tree stumps.

England v Scotland friendly tonight at Wembley, that's if the jocks leave the crossbar alone ! :)
