We decided to go the whole hog and adopt an agricultural theme for today.
For starters we helped out on the GO GROW stand at our farmers market .....and then ......
we really set to work! MeWally checked the instructions and then the bits and bobs. I said 'Check' as he listed each item.
WE WERE GOOD TO GO!
The frame work went together really fast, but was definitely a job for 2!
MeWally went home to catch up with the Grand Prix qualifiers. I dug 4 trenches and then dug in compost and manure. It was much needed as I had dug fairly deep into the subsoil when I levelled this area. Then I watered each trench very generously. I've kept a path of firm soil down the centre. By planting directly into the soil, I hope to cut down on the amount of water I use. As it has to be carried UP the hill from the spring, this feels important to me!
Gerry The Dairy had supplied me with another sheet of plastic which covered the ground a treat. I got everything planted - all be it very late, BEFORE I PUT THE ROOF ON!
Well, it was a VERY HOT DAY.
MeWally came back and we put the roof on together, and there you have it, one poly tunnel.
It's been a huge amount of work, not just for me, but also for MeWally and both the GERRYS.
COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU
THANK YOU.
