Sowed more seed and moved some plants into their final locations.
Planted up two rows of spuds for summer salads hopefully.
watered the ground as it has dried out a bit round the fruit trees.
Looked over what is to come and what has been.
Snow drops will need splitting soon as the last of the flowers are beginning to fade.
Seen the first Catkin on my Hazels. Hope to see more in the coming years.
Cannot seem to get rid of the dock plants that the bird droppings are bringing in.
Mixed up some more compost, perlite, and sand for potting on.

Got them back now to put some tread on them

Erected canes ready for Scarlet Emperor runner beans, brittle wax beans and sweet peas, left the plot at 8pm in daylight  :)

We watered the garden and planted more seeds in modules:

Courgettes Black Beauty (Dig In)
Cucumber White Wonder
Cabbage Greyhound
Onion Red Baron, Rj 5 and Paris Silverskin
French Bean Blue Lake (Dig In)
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

I excavated a 1m x 2m trench in front of my shed for my decking under the new pergola. 15 barrowloads of soil and 5 of rubble. Back says aargh!! :o :o :o Put weed fabric in place and levelled pallet bases. Bought and delivered decking stuff to the plot. Plus lots more little insignificant things. Decided that doors and windows will be painted claret. (contrast with forgetmenot blue). Chatted lots to nice folk. Had my plot admired by 3 folk!!! 8) 8) 8)

After my lunch break (I work from home) I sneaked up the garden and planted out 50 pea plants that I had sown in paper plant pots 3 weeks ago. Covered with bubble wrap to keep the local pigeons at bay!

Finally finished our paths!  Put up the wigwams and planted sweet peas, sowed more broad beans and planted the last few potatoes, and prepared the asparagus bed.  Had a lovely bath!

Sweet peas planted and netted up to about 16 inches.  Clay beginning to bake so watered the garlic and then covered in spent hops. Weeded the raspberry beds, took up paving stones and removed roots travelling to the other beds, watered and mulched with ......spent hops  ;D
