The wet weather job

Saturday 27th Feb 10.

After consistent heavy rain all work on the open plot has stopped because it it just too wet to work on without deystroying the soil structure and making a muddy mess. Not to mention getting very wet and cold.

The wet weather job was started. One of the old glasshouses (sadly not original victorian), as you can see from the photo's it was ridge high in bramble and scrub.

Following a lot of hacking and very careful cutting to avoid breaking the glass we can actually see the wood for the trees. It looks like only 25 panes of glass are missing and the benches inside have finally died and need removing.

It is our intention to grow melons in this house once it is in a usable condition - Watch This Space

The clearing continues but as you can see the inside of the house is at least accessible.
