transplanted my romaine lettuce into pots before putting them in the unheated propagators made from council lights, then put them in the polytunnel, taking no chances with -5 here ;D

Finally finished my shed project, very cloggy under foot so good knows what the lotty is like under my muck which I still have to rotovate in, I'm just glad that I now have a cold frame which is now doing me proud, going off the weather forcast it looks like we are going to have a dry spell so roll on Easter, :)

I've planted spring onion, carrots and beetroot in the new B&Q raised bed. Can't wait ;D

What a lovely day in London. Picked kale and brussles for a roast - weeded round the over wintering onions and garlic - went to the city farm for some free rotted manure.
Forst real day down the plot this year.
I feel like I have just woken up from some form of hibernation!

Mixed the dalek bins
Chicken pelleted the onion bed ready for planting next week
Hoed the weeds that have grown on my squash pits
;D ;D ;D

Off work with (wo)man flu, but did manage to sit outside facing the
Sun. Wonderful.

Sunny but cold. Picked Lambs lettuce and small land cress from one bed, picked land cress and just a few spinach leaves from cold frame, and picked (very small) lettuce leaves, salad rocket, wild rocket, pea shoots and tiny sorrel leaves from the unheated greenhouse. I am really surprised at what has survived the winter. I have some very tiny Arctic King lettuces leaves that have sat outside all winter and still look up for it. Very surprised to find quite thick ice a dustbin full of water standing in the garden.

Prepared the other half of the new asparagus bed, pruned the clematis - better late than never. Dug up 2 ash saplings lurking behind the clematis, dug up and transplanted a globe artichoke. Don't know if it will survive but I have new ones coming up in pots to replace if need be or give away. Dug up the old asparagus bed and transplanted the best 3. Gave the rest away. Burnt all the asparagus and artichoke and clematis stuff. Put loads of stuff in daleks too. Started levelling the old asparagus bed which is where my new greenhouse is going. Hopefully soon!!! Another plotholder came and took away all the extra strawberries left over from yesterday's clearing of old strawberry bed so that's good.

I cleared a load of brambles.

Received a load of wood chippings for our field from a tree surgeon who contacted us recently, excellent quality so gave him a key so he can bring in more when he's working in this area. Received a load of bundles of Hazel branches for pea sticks and bean poles from someone who'd contacted us a few weeks ago as he was coppicing his woodland. Harvested some more leeks and shoots of Tuscan Kale. Gave a couple of stalks of sprouts to a lottie neighbour as I still have lots and need to clear this area very soon; sprout variety Trafalgar F1 have been excellent this year, started harvesting in mid November.
