Measurements and Moving Ants

Back up to the plot this morning, we bagged up the rubbish and dug a few more weeds out. We attacked the ants with Nippon powder, so hopefully they’ll move or die!

Measuring up, the plot is in two sections: one is 5m x 5.8m, the other 5m x 3.75m (the previous owner still has part of one side – we’re hoping we may be able to have the extra bit soon too!).

Wildlife spotted:
Several blackbirds
A robin
Ants galore!
A snail with a very pretty shell!
A slug.

As we’re off on holiday, it’ll be about three weeks before we’re back on site, but we’re taking our Vegetable & Herb Expert book and our measurements to plan out what we can sow when we get back!
