Sweet Pea Trench

Tuesday night project was digging a trench for my Sweet Peas. I planted them in my veggie garden last year, and it was a little cramped. I thought this would be better, and they can climb up the fence and look all pretty.

I got as far as digging the trench and emptying out the soil. The soil was a little sad looking, so I added a bit of Sheep Manure and tossed it all together. It looked better, but still not great. I think I will just go and get some proper soil tomorrow (Triple Mix or something like that), so the project is on hold until then. I have some of that plastic barrier stuff that I'll put down to prevent the lawn from taking the space back. Then it's planting time.

As I was digging this trench I was thinking that if this spot turns out to be good for sun-loving plants I may widen it next year (taking over more lawn) and make a big L shaped vegetable garden.
