What's your garden focus this weekend?

With the sustainable homes open day coming up next weekend, my focus this weekend is tidying up the garden. Paths need sweeping, beds need weeding and a general tidy up is in order.

I'll also be combatting the weeds in the paving with boiling water. With chickens and children to think of, using a a non toxic form of weed control is especially important.

I have a bag of seed potatoes for my children to plant in their garden bed today. These are a bit special in that they are purple potatoes - all the way through, not just the skin. Won't they be fun to eat!

Even though there is work to do, Spring has turned on the beautiful weather for us! What a lovely day to be in the garden.
