Its a leaf day today - so sowed some early lettuce in modules for planting out in April.

Also spread compost on my asparagus bed as a mulch, and then on lottie 2 spread mushroom compost where my brassica's will got this year.

And then the rain hit and had to stop.

Almost finished digging - have a 3x3 sq left (rain stopped play) Worked in the poly as the thunderstorm whirled overhead. Put the canes in for the melons and cucumbers - will they x-pollinate each other? and sowed two short rows of lettuce. Had a root to see what was happening with my spuds in black buckets - there are shoots :D

I sowed some beetroot under the cloche that was warming the ground up. managed to get some sante spuds from homebase so put them to chit. sowed some hardy annuals that I forgot to sow last Autumn planted some sweet rocket. The wind was blowin the right way so Tone burned the old blackberry cuttings for the daughter. all in all a good day. Picked some PSB to go with the pork chops. (sod the diet)
