Well the weather was glorious this weekend following an endless stream of 2 months of snow and ice so we set about digging some beds. Mr R has grand ideas about planting potatoes, brasicas and flowers after reading his gardening book so he hired a turf cutter for the whole weekend!
We started at 1100hrs on saturday with Mr R cutting rows of turf whilst I followed picking up the turfs as he went! My god - turf is really heavy and it almost blew out the wheel on our wheel barrow! My plan was to set the turfs under the hedge but by the 15th wheelbarrow full I was losing the will to live! Happily we were interrupted by our neighbour offering us a well deserved cup of tea which gave us the chance to take a break!! We were also gladly interrupted by the neighbour on the other side who was just moving in and has the maddest of spaniel puppy called Monty!!
Anyway time waits for no one and after cutting and removing turf from 6 (yes 6!) beds we were done!
However I soon realised we weren't done for the day as Mr R had another plan up his sleeve!
