End of the cold spell

Last week saw about 4 inches of snow; but its all gone now and back to mild damp waether.

The ground is very wet with pools forming easilly in any low spot, particularly around the shed.

Dug in 3 bags of Homebase compost (2 peat free and 1 non-peat free as they'd run out of the peat free stuff) into the far box, which will be for carrots and beet. Also started to dig out the middle box - the technique is to dig a trench around the outer edges inside the box and then drop the plastic liners into the trech and fill back in with the menu/straw mix and then cover back with the soil. the plastic liner, a small attempt to keep the crouch grass out.
