Ash Wednesday
There was a pile of old wooden fence panels at the end of the garden, so this week I took advantage of the dry weather to have a bonfire.
So yesterday on Ash Wednesday I had a lovely pile of wood ash to collect.
There are signs of the rhubarb crowns breaking the surface of the soil.
Yesterday was a bright, sunny day and I managed to get some weeding and digging done out on the allotment.
But I was being watched! This fox was laying on the shed roof taking advantage of the warm sunshine.
The growing season is just about to start, so I bought a few bags of seed compost to get going with a few early sowings in the heated propagator in the greenhouse. Here we go!

Foxes seem to be very common these days - probably since the anti-hunting legislation! They do a lot of damage in my garden, so I do not welcome their presence.
Could do with a bit of wood ash though...
I wish I had a source of some good clean ash. I had a fireplace at my last house, but this house is new and has a fake (gas) fireplace. Our soil gets very acidic over time and as is very alkaline, so it would do two duties in the garden if I had it.
