Work in progress

It's been a busy week. Well, all weeks are busy but this time there's more to show for it than just another block of lifted turf, a sore back and hands like old leather gloves:

A 12x4m polytunnel (work in progress, obviously) at the top of the veg plot for tomatoes, chillies, peppers, aubergines, herbs and melons.

Two tonnes of topsoil from the pond to sift and dump on the veg beds.

Pond liner, which is now half full and will be tidied up tomorrow now that the fosse bods have ok'ed everything - we have our garden back at last! Whoop, holler, etc.

Just got to make 2 chicken and 3 rabbit arks, 2 top-bar beehives, 1 cat-flap, 1 herb garden, plant 6 trees, plant soft fruit, plant hedges, make gates, dog-proof perimeter, renovate 5 old apple trees, cut 1 hedge, make lid for 1 compost bin, make 1 goose shelter, insulate rest of house, repair gite beams, rebuild gite wall, rewire and plumb gite, make new kitchens for gite and house, make new bathroom for house, make a proper larder in house, sort out damp chimney stack, redecorate house and gite...

...and then relax. Oh, almost forgot - make 1 pergola and 1 tandoori oven in the wee side garden bit by the kitchen for cooking wors teas in summer. Can't wait for that bit.
