Checked rat taps (caught one).
Put the fire on because I like doing it, not because I needed it.
Planted 7 varieties of beetroot, some in ground, some in modules.
Planted a variety of heritage peas.
Dug over a small bed.
Wanted to plant my asparagus but couldn't due to them being rotten on delivery!
Planted some onion sets to fill in in the spaces where some of my seed onions were before they were eaten by critters.
Went to the waste land bit and cut some comfrey for composting and to put below my beans.
Fried and ate two lamb chops.
Phoned Halle Berry and told her I couldn't go on that date as I had other beds to dig and seeds to sow.
Spoke to the old guys about who was annoying them that day and about cycling.
Sat about and generally loafed while thinking about a cool design for 'beanstick mansions'.

Made a seed bed in which I plan to grow cabbage seedlings. Got rid of a lot of stones and rock-hard lumps of clay. Was complimented on my broad beans by some American allotment neighbours and had to point out that they were in fact field beans (green manures planted in autumn, with lots of nitrogen fixing nodules on the roots, which I should have dug in earlier in the spring). Some of them were beginning to flower, so I dug them in this afternoon. Sowed some more carrots. Also cut some comfrey and put it in water to rot down into rich smelly liquid. Noticed my second earlies (Charlotte) coming through and everything else growing strongly.
Birds singing, sun shining: a wonderful day.

dug out stones from my carrot bed, planted carrots and spring onions in the vain hope of deterring carrot fly, watered everything, planted sweet peas against the shed, planted purple caulis and chatted to my neighbour. Nice afternoon.

erected the rest of my wigwams for my french beans, etc.
erected one of my frames for netting brassicus plants.
dug and filled 8 individual holes with rotted manure (from small mammal bedding) for my tomatoes, 4 more to do when the rest of the area is cleared of winter and early spring crops. i also started to erect their supports which will also double as the support for the roof that goes over them to help keep the rain off (in case the rain returns) thus reducing the risk or reducing the effect of blight.
potted up some cabbage seedlings.
watered whatever needed watering.

Did some of my hedge yesterday. I'll probably dig a bit today. It's drizzling a bit now, but I don't think it's going to be more than a few drops now and then.
