A weekend off from work and Zoe was working last night, so Finley and me dawned the boots and set off down to the vegetable garden. There is a lot of work required to get it into any kind of shape for next year.
I was planning on cutting down more hedges to give the family more space for the new beds to be built but earlier in the week I had started to rebuild the secondary greenhouse. I had begun to rebuild in early spring but with the need to get the inside of our home decorated after our move, the greenhouse got left to the side. Storms arrived and what work I had completed on the build was left in tatters. Thankfully no metal work was too bad damaged and I have been able to make a few amendments to fix any issues which have so far arose.

Unfortunately, after I had built the greenhouse in its original position at our old house, I lost the paperwork to rebuild it but after taking a few attempts and a little longer than what would normally be needed. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Once built, it will need a good wash down before any tables etc get built and put in.
Finley enjoyed himself in the main greenhouse and kept himself occupied with a whole array of tools. (All sharp and small objects were moved out of little hands reach. As well as an liquids etc...)
Finley got some real dirty play time today and as you can see enjoyed his digging time.
After over an hour it was time to come in for a well earned break for the boss and me. The think that is probably the must I will get working on it today but happy with what we have managed to get built.
The next time I am down in the vegetable garden I'll take a picture of the progress we've made.
As you can see from these images that the secondary greenhouse took a bad battering during the bad weather.
Overgrown and in disarray, sounds a bit like me but with a bit of hard work may be a change will happen to not just the vegetable garden but me too.
