Gardening and allotment diary

Welcome to todays gardening and allotment diary for 22nd January 2020.

Today has been extreamly busy, I did not think it would last 3 hours to do one strawberry bed! At least I will reap the rewards come summer! I still have another strawberry bed to sort and that one is worse than this.

In my next diary hopefully I will be able to show you me taking this bed up also about transplanting raspberry canes and prepping them for this year.

If you have not checked out my review on the Wolf Garten soil miller tool yoy can see it here:-
