Preparing for the plough

After a lot of deliberation, we have decided to get our patch ploughed and rotivated to help us prepare the soil. We feel it is just too big a job and too de-motivating to clear it all by hand. One of our lottie neighbours lent us a lawnmower and Simon spent a lovely afternoon in the winter sunshine pushing the mower to get rid of the last of the tufts of grass. The whole plot is looking much better now, we have cleared many of the clods of grass and dug out some of the bigger bramble roots - its just impossible to get them all. More photos next time but i think we are nearly ready to start planting stuff. I have bought a huge number of fruit bushes and have my site already marked out. Next update and photos after the ploughing
