We worked like dogs today. I was out there before 8:00 am, in the blasted bug shirt because of the black flies, and filled one of the large beds. Took 2 hours of straight shoveling and dumping triple mix.
Got the next smaller bed done fairly quickly also. Frank and I then built the remaining beds, there are 9 in total.
By the end of the day we had filled all the beds except the last one we did not finish, it needs about 3 wheelbarrows to completely fill it.
We were both utterly exhausted by the end of the day.
Watered the rhubarb and the new currant. Frank has sprinkled wood ash all around the brassicas in the hope that this will deter whatever it is that is eating them. We have lost close to half of them by now. Very frustrating as we do not know what it is that is eating them.
