Today, we had hoped to paint some of the raised beds, but the weather wasn't on our side, and we were a bit low in numbers, with only 4 of us all together. In the end, we spent most of the time wire-brushing and sanding the beds we hadn't got round to last time, and even with frequent breaks, we were all exhausted, because it definitely uses muscles that don't normally get much of a work out. In fact, typing this, my forearms are protesting!
When the muscles gave up, we went to work on the area that will hold the fruit cage. The good news is that it will fit! The bad news is that the ground is in need of a lot of attention. Still, we'll all be a lot fitter when we've finished.
We ended with a quick tidy up which has left the place looking much better. It's starting to feel as if we're on the home strait. Helen certainly thought so - she's already thinking about what it will look like in Summer.
