Another nice day, unseasonably warm (not that I am complaining!), although not quite as sunny as yesterday.
Equipped with hammers, nails and cable ties, we were all set for today big jobs. After a generous amount of swearing (me) and a few bruised fingers (me again), we had a strong and hopefully wind proof fence and a brand new compost bin.
The back fence
Single compost bin yesterday
And its twin today - so that we can now use them in rotation
The struggling broad beans were offered a little protection with a glass roof.
And the fruit bushes were moved to their new permanent position, to make way for a bigger strawberry bed.

How were your Ken Muir strawberries last year?
We were thinking of getting some, but the fact we have to buy them in 12s seems a bit much, so we weren't sure.
Thanks for the offer of strawberries! That would be lovely if you have spare ones.
I'm sure we will be able to swap you something later in the year.
How about peas? I have 4 different varieties of seed, and loads of parsnip seeds!
