          Got an old Tarpaulin, to match the front border, 3m x 8m, laid this alongside the border
          1m x 7m,
          Cleared the last of the runner beans

          Tomorrow I intend to remove 3 standard roses, and six bush roses and heel them into my cleared veg patch, then remove and pot up several heucharas, primroses, and lavandula, followed by forking the soil to identify where the gas main lies
          Then riddle the bulbs out of the soil, fill with HM and dig in to raise height/depth
          I may split the HM fifty fifty with ex veg patch soil, then reverse the process
          I hope to job and finish tomorrow, but probably, may be a two day job ?

            Planted Purple Sprouting, Red Kale and Spring greens.

            Sown mustard in the bare over-wintering veggie beds as a green manure.

            Picked enough runner beans for a couple more meals, they are slowing down now, still a few flowers forming but no bees around, too cold for them so I don't think they will set.
