The mild weather continued over the weekend and I managed to do a few hours digging on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Part of the motivation is simply to get outside and enjoy a bit of fresh air and exercise while clearing away last year and preparing the beds for a new growing season.
The other key factor is my freelance lifestyle rarely provides a routine so I have to seize the day to work on the plot when an opportunity appears. Quite often I chip away at it with a few hours here and there, it also guards against becoming too ambitious and over doing it.
One thing I have noticed this year is the digging is easiest in the beds that have been cultivated the longest. So for anyone starting off with new beds the hard work you put in the first few years will be rewarded.
Time now to head out and finish off digging another bed. I will soon be ready for my delivery of compost.
