Sieving the soil!

After a long day on the stall yesterday we finally got around to some plot care in the full sun.
Now with half a red face and some aches we have just heard the SA land girls are aching from 4 hours of hard core sieving! Now that's dedication or pure madness.

Lots of brassicas were planted yesterday (brought from the fete); purple sprouting broccoli and red cabbage. Several early potatoes (rocket) were dug up as well as lettuce and spinach leaves.
Space is tight at the moment as we are waiting to remove some plants and plant overs (sprouts).

On the water front the water barrel is almost empty again. Where is are water fairy when needed? A couple of 25litre journeys up and down the garden makes you think about the ease of water at home. If only we had a tap on the plot!
