Day 1 in the Gallacher/Spencer/Patrick garden.......

My lovely other half has been off this week, so after much bribary and a new toy (a brand new Yamaha 125 Custom motorbike - pic to follow when I can catch him on it!!) we decided to hire a rotorvator to start the back braking digging on the garden.  It started off well, with no rain, but soon we realised that actually the rotorvator wasn't going to dig by itself and we needed to stop making brew's and "discussing" (arguing) and we made a start............

THE BEAST!!!!!

 First strip done and contrary to Lee's whining it wasnt so bad!!!!

Ahhhh isnt it nice to watch other people work?!? (I have to add I got a stone thrown my way after this and a growl which i took to mean as "do some effing work!!!")

Then........ disaster struck!!!  The following picture should not be viewed unless you are an adult of a non-sensitive nature......

This was where my veggie patch was going to be but as you can tell, the soil is riddled with roots and crap basically, so in a second my dream of a lush, vibrant veggie garden slipped away..... :( *snif*

.........until we decided to move it to the middle where the good stuff is and used aforementioned plot to have concrete poured onto it and my greenhouse' new home :) yay!!!! (There was some mention of a shed for a motorbike as well, but i seemed to have selective hearing when he starts talking about shiny things with gears!!!)

We had some help digging.......

Until they decided on a lunch break (union rules - apparently!) and headed off to the all you can eat worm/bug buffet!!!

Previous bonfire plot (where the chickens that didnt survive the -10 winter got ahem..... bbq'd!!!) I think they were paying their respects.....

Done for the day!!!

So a pretty productive day today :)  Ive just been informed however, that i need to keep turing the soil and remove all the turf out of the soil so it can be re-seeded next week........ did i not mention i'm allergic to hard work?!???  Mind you the kids are off next week :)

Loves!!! x
