Saturday jobs

Finished my first bed! Sieved the soil to get out the huge lumps (chucked them on a bed further down to hopefully break down a bit), raked it over, then covered with manure to protect the soil a bit. Used my new lawn shears (from Homebase) to trim the grass round the edge.

Started weeding the second bed. Covered the bit I did with cardboard to (hopefully) protect the soil - from more weeds sprouting, and from drying out too much. 

My first crop! Kind of, the Rhubarb stem a bit too bendy for my liking. Not sure if it's ok to eat a previous year's crop, or whether I should cut it down and start again..
