after day 4

The first thing we did this morning is to unload the car. I had a bench from home that hubby thought we could use in the garden so its sitting on the bottom path in shade under the big sycamore tree so we had at least some shade when the heat got too much and boy was it hot here today.

The big dig has begun

My friend Doug came up this morning with his fork and turned over a good part of the garden this morning.

On the left is the garden as it was and on the right it has been doug over for the weeds to dry before taking them off and bagging them for the tip. Although it doesnt look like much believe me he got aload of the garden dug today

I also moved the big pile of sticks over on the dug ground ready to burn in the next week or so.

While we were digging about in the garden hubby was putting up a fence in the square at the end where the compost bin is going
So these pictures is before the fence went up and after the fence is up...they are both still to be painted to match the gate but the square is beginning to take shape.

Then the next job was to remake the shape we have in the middle with newer wood and pegs.

It took forever...lol....

While waiting we gave it a good dig over and removed as much of the weeds and roots as we could.

Then after the shape was pegged and made we raked over the ground to let it dry out before we give it another dig and weed out.

So this pictures is of it before it was renewed and dug and the next is how it now looks.

Pretty good isnt it....it really does look very different to how it was this morning .
