Bit concerned about this. My little one - as I think I told you - has peaches already and is in full leaf. I think I'll give it a shock and move it outside! Grin

bought horse manure from local nursery (just got started so none of our own yet!) and dug it in to potato and cauliflower beds.  One was lovely and friable, the other very NOT- 2 beds right next to each other- hopefully this time next year they'll all be great to work.  Spread some Poundland fleece ready to sow carrots and parsnips.

Bemused my neighbour by digging up a partly blanched dandelion (while planting potatoes) and remembering how tasty blanched dandelion leaves are. Nibbled a few.

Dug out a small fertile space where I had stacked compost to smother nettles and brambles etc, and replanted the dandelions under large black pots with a brick on top.

In 2 or 3  weeks, I hope to pick some salad off them. They taste like chicory. Might as well make use of the annoying things.

Thought I was having a senior moment so have just checked the packet.......... sow anytime from March to early July outdoors.    We like it grated in salads so should be able to harvest from late July/early August Grawrc.

Yesterday I planted 12 asparagus crowns, I'm hoping these will crop a little later to the other bed.
Potted up tomato seedlings in the greenhouse.
