A welcome warm weekend

Such a nice warm weekend, a huge contrast to the previous minus temperature + no heating weekend! We took advantage of the warmth and sunshine by spending most of the time working in the garden. We built a bed for vegetables, a mini greenhouse and planted our first vegetable seeds, as well as replanted some flowers.

Raised bed, before:

We covered the ground with old wallpaper and cardboard to stop the weeds from growing through:

We then covered the paper with compost and then a layer of straw. The bed on the right is finished, we still need to finish the one on the left:

We also made a small greenhouse out of bricks and a spare window.

We had some flowers in our greenhouse, which we replanted next to the house,  into pots and old tyres.

Some worms for our compost

Apart from the garden work, Artur also finished painting the ceiling of our kitchen. There are still some things to be done, but finally we don’t find the kitchen horrendous.
