Gardening Part 3

And this is the garden after a second day of hard work. Well almost, I gave the soil a good digging about after the photo to start the process of removing all the roots that were like a carpet over the whole plot. Unfortunately it was a shorter day as it chucked it down late afternoon (and is still raining now - please stop!)

Met even more of the neighbours today, and one old Irish guy came back with some tools and helped me hack down the rest of the big bushes, and pull out two stumps! I so couldn't have done half of that on my own yesterday. So many thanks to him. Now I just have to figure out how to make the most of the space on my limited budget, and hope that the judges take into consideration the amount of hard work I've done before planting anything!

perhaps you should send the judge a blog link so he can apreciate your hard work
