What lies beneath?

You've done well clearing everything - my house is built on an old school and I even found a complete bag of sand (still it was free just not expecting it under a foot of topsoil!!)

Well done on what you have done so far! That's a lot of clearing to do! Learning?....all the time! :-))

This sounds surprisingly familiar to what happened to me. I planted potatoes that then got frozen so I planted lettuce, radish and other "salad" veg only to find I had spuds growing through everything!
It's all part of the fun of gardening, finding out how long things take. Good luck with it in the future!

well done and dont worry about the beans and spuds, you have ready to go mixed veg now :o))

you`v done loads ... looks hard work ....good luck with it

You look as though you have worked very hard,and I have done that a few times,thinking something hasn't germinated.No problem,all will turn out ok in the end :o))

car batteries -- tires-=-- some one had teenagers
had to get rid of 7 tons of bits and pieces to clear the back of my section to subdivide and build

You could start your own scrapyard with that lot, warrior queen! LOL.

Thank you all for taking an interest in my project and for your lovely comments. Good to know that others have succeeded with similar obstacles! When my arms are aching and my back is hurting I try to think about my orchard underplanted with spring bulbs and the apple crumbles in the autumn!

That's definitely 'thinking positive', Wq. Good for you - and all power to your elbow. :-))

...that vision sounds wonderful Wq.....share the crumble? :o))
