Stayed home today. I transplanted tomatoes, melons, marigolds. Stocks and sowed some more cauli.Got the pots filled ready for the sweetcorn. Tony had to clean the pool filter.The frogs really stir everything up and of course it all goes into the filter when it gets past all the other contraptions he has in there. Frogs spawned today.

Finished the strawberry yesterday at the lottie, but haven't made it there today. Have been working the garden. Ant has spent the last 2 days re-doing the filter bay on the koi pond and I spent today moving barrels (and barrels...) of soil to finish a rockery. Then I had to move all the rocks to put on top of the soil. Am knackered now, but pleased with the final product. Am going to go to the tip and am hoping to prick out a few seedlings before the end of the day.

Not enough time for the allotment today, so stayed at home listening to the frogs spawning while I weeded, hoed, trimmed lavender, planted some rudbeckia, primulas, sea holly, veronica and delphiniums in the borders; and did some mulching. Beautiful sunny day.
Went to friend's house this afternoon to sing with a madrigal and part-song group and her garden looked fantastic. Beautifully pruned shrubs and lots of bulbs in flower. Birds having a whale of a time on the feeders.

Ate my sandwiches, drunk my coffee, did a lot of chat, stroked the allotment cat. Did weeding and digging and then sat in the sun. Watched everyone else working, admired their plots. Apparently Manuel's allotment was in one of the gardening magazines last year, but didn't he and me didn't buy it as it cost over £6. He has done a tiered system of planting. His home made greenhouse with old wood and polythene looks a bit of a wreck and the Council may make him take it down. Went inside and it was very warm (his greenhouse), he has planted pots in the ground and it is full of seeds in pots. Stops his wife moaning about having seeds in the bedroom etc. etc. Planted sweet peas, runner beans, and cottage garden flower seeds and watered them. Moved soil about. Cycled home. Picked some everlasting spinach that the pigeons hadn't eaten and some more purple sprouting broccoli. That reminds me, it is still in the carriers on my bike. What a lovely sunny day it was.
