Still getting rid of the raspberry patch

Back in October this area that was overgrown with neglected raspberry canes was just too tough to dig with a spade but now the damp earth is soft enough to remove the rasp roots and crumbles sufficiently to tease out brittle bindweed rhizomes.

Bindweed roots from a single spadefull 

..and every spadefull has been the same

The original fruit bed started where the bean frame now is. The whole bed needed deep digging and sorting through a handful at a time.

Fitted the shed

Bubble wrap, formica and hardboard that I found on Freecycle, have all been used to insulate and line inside the shed. It's made it much brighter and warmer in winter and should be cooler in summer. Just the place to enjoy a cup of tea.
