Decided to define the split at the top of the fruit terrace between fruit and path areas, so got some oldish gravel boards. Sized, test fitted after banging in lengths of old galvanized water pipe as pegs, removed, painted with wood preservative and fitted for real.
Started to barrow loose soil to fill the path area level.
Between test fitiing and painting I sowed; Leaf Beet, Dwarf French Beans, Swede and Carrot on the plot and ;Purple Sprouting, Savoy, Robin F1 Cabbage, Red Brussels Sprouts, several other brassicas and Leeks in the cold frame and finished off by laying the raised bed to alternating rows of Carrot Nantes and Rocket.
Am in two minds about the Cresosote replacement stuff, much preferred the smell of creosote and one could use it to dilute Black Tar paint to achive a wonderfull deep black penetrating coat that also gave surface protection. This "stuff" stinks, contains god knows what and does not seem to last as long if my garden fence is anything to go by.
Finished my visit by watering all seeds sown and some previously sown
Last surviving plastic watering can rose broke, the cans are UV stable, why are the bits of the rose with holes in not? Must buy some tomorrow, bet I can't get them seperate from cans in the DIY warehouses, might see how much a metal jobbie is.
