I Love Everybody

Hole digging has commenced! I have a picture of some bare soil over on my pillowfort.

Husband helped me measure out the area and strimmed the long grass for me first (to the best of his ability. Conditions weren't very good for it), but I did all the digging myself. I have made a small start at digging it over the first time just to see how difficult that was going to be compared to lifting the turf, and the answer is A Lot Easier! Thank Cat for that! I'm glad I chose the bed for 5 square meters and not 10! As you can tell, the lawn has been wild on purpose for years, which didn't make it any easier.

I ordered the plants in a hurry yesterday, because I saw the bed I actually wanted had sold out, so I've wound up with my second choice. This one is mixed plants for biodiversity rather than native for pollinators, but to be honest, I can't think that there can be that big a difference. Doesn't really make that big a difference for me anyway.

Husband has rewarded me with a cup of tea (I'm weirdly thirsty this afternoon for some reason!) and I'm rewarding myself with a bit of Stardew Valley, which feels appropriate.
