A Hard Nights Day

well, recovered from my three night stint at work (ok with a 24h snooze) and so got out early into the garden and onto the plot. Decided today i would finish the digging of the potato patch. I very nearly did so, but with about four square foot of top 'bench' to dig and around sixteen square foot of the double digging to do, i was too tired to carry on.

The reason was that during the digging i discovered a load of building waste, plastic sheeting, a plastic bucket, bottle, and loads of stones, all obviously burried in a deep hole. One of the stones is massive, probably originally ornamental, and there were several housebricks and a breezeblock. Oh, and several hundred weight of sharp sand. All this made digging really hard going, requiring constant hard levering and pulling to dislodge the bigger pieces, and loads of bending to remove all the stone. All because some nerk builder couldnt be bothered to pay for a skip. Some of the plastic was so deeply burried that ive had to leave it in.

Tomorrow, hopefully, i will crack on, get the last of the digging finished, level the soil, build the new bigger polytunnel for the beans, and start painting the framework of the chicken run, ready for the wire to be attached.
