New cloches and bad backs

So the clocks went back last night and that means an extra hour in the day (sort of).

Mary and I had been out yesterday and got a couple of bits and pieces from Homebase that we thought were needed for Doug and some more veg to plant. We had also dug up some more soft fruit bushes from Nigel (our miniscule back garden) to transplant into Doug.

Well the weather this morning was less than inspiring but off we went over to Springbourne in the drizzle. Once on site we got to work planting a couple of rows of red onions and then it was onto replanting the soft fruit bushes. I got the holes dug and Mary heeled the bushes in. We then decided to prune them back ready for the winter. This is when disaster struck, as Mary bent over to start pruning her back went. She's now sat on the couch with an ice pack and various pain killers.

As Mary then couldn't work anymore she supervised as I planted the new savoy cabbages and put the cloches over some of the brassicas we had already planted. I don't think there is much more we can plant until the Spring now, but if half of what we've planted comes up we'll be very happy.
