We have water!

After what feels like a very long time away from the garden (-to-be) and some minor dramas with the plumber and water authority, we finally have mains water connected, which means we finally have a reason to go back and get on with things!

The tap!

Unfortunatley, it has not rained much in Malmsbury this last month. This means the green manure has not germinated and the soil is looking even scarier...

Starting the garden...

Well, it has been an interesting couple of days in the Malmsbury Kitchen Garden-to-be. The grass has been slashed and the soil turned.

It took two of us the whole day to mow and whipper snip the grass and weeds (now I know why all the locals love their ride on mowers so much). Hopefully with the weather warming up we won’t need to slash it again (or much) until autumn.

Pretty long grass
