"dig up your lawn" challenge for @happymoneyman #23

So my new friend @happymoneyman set a challenge to his followers (check out my resteem) to dig up a part of the lawn(or garden as we call it over here lol) and convert it into a veg patch. So here is mine and the Mrs' attempt.

OK so above are the semi-finished photos, like most days in Wales it absolutely pissed it down so I couldn't quite finish, but fingers crossed he says that's OK and I can finish it next weekend

OK originally this area was full of bushes, shrubs and flowers(and not grass) as you can see, so was actually a bit more work than it should have been. We took every bush/shrub and and replanted it but the flowers went to the allotment in the sky. We took out every root ball and stray weed and made sure we didn't leave anything that could grow back. We managed to fill 8 recycling bags full of garden waste.

After the clearing came the "turning over" of the soil. Although very tedious the big yellow thing in the sky made a very short appearance and this helped the time pass

And one for the lads(don't tell her she will kill me)

So I hope you found this kind of interesting and if all else fails you got to see the wife's arse.

Few more things:
Yes I know I don't have a before picture, for some reason it didn't save to my phone.
Yes I did build the featheredge fence in the finished pic and yes I know I must concrete the final post in, but like I said rain stopped play.
Yes it does still look very "rocky", I promise you I will remove all the bigger ones and rake it flat before I put the garden to bed for the winter.
And finally Yes I did do some work, it's just I held the camera. ;-)

Thanks for dropping in. Have a great day and happy gardening.
