Out into the sunshine to start work and get ready for this year's planting.
I've bought two planters specifically for this year's crop of veg - in addition to the square foot bed which despite being overgrown is still being used as a cat litter tray.
Emptied out the pots from last year, including the growbag and used the soil to fill one of the wicker planters. It's quite deep, so probably too deep for salad crops but I'm sure I'll find something to go in it!
Last year's salad box is looking a little weather beaten, so may not be used this year. I've got some spare wood left over from the replaced compost bin which might do instead.
The other planter is even bigger - ideal for runner beans and of course I'll need somewhere for cucumbers and tomatoes.
As ever, great expectations for what to grow this year - what actually crops over the summer depends on slugs and snails, cats and the weather.
