Well, it’s stopped raining and, with the clear blue skies, got an awful lot colder. Very heavy frost today plus a very slight drizzle of snow. Nothing for it but to use my new spade and dig some compost into the empty bed ready for planting in April. Looks pretty doesn’t it? This took about a quarter of one of my big compost heaps. The top half was not well composted, but I put it into the bottom of each trench anyway, it will break up and rot in the next few months. I’ve also been planning where to plant things in 2010. I don’t follow a proper crop rotation as I usually end up with lines of different things. What I make sure of though is that I don’t plant the same sort of plant in the same place two years in a row. Works pretty well.
