I tidied up my sliver of a plot raked it over and dug in some compost to benefit the soil. Since then i have put some straw round the brussels and fleeced them to protect them from the frost. It doesn't look like i will be getting brussels for Christmas they are still really small.
I have also tided up the old apple tree for years we haven't been able to get apples off them they always were rotten. So i have pruned off all the interlocking branches to provided better air circulation, put a gum band round and when my next batch of compost is ready i will be putting that round the base to and hopefully that will help.
Back to the plot which is now all dug up and now just needs raking over, because we have put a rotovator through the soil to break it up because it was so compacted. Then i started to fork it to keep the gaps and to pick out the stones, because there is millions of stones. I got to a section and got stuck so i moved on a little bit think i might find the end of this huge stone. Forty minutes later i have uncovered what looks like 9ft of solid stone. 
I thought who would put this in here and why. So i started to dig up and make my own little exervation site and i have dug up 11 breeze blocks. Why were they in there i don't know will there be anymore who knows, my back hurts and i have had to take time off from the plot. However the lack of breeze blocks have left me with huge holes and i will now have to invest in some top soil.
