(yesterday) i played happily in the greenhouse with the rain pattering on the roof..pricked out some celeriac that allaboutliverpool kindly gave me the other day,thanks! sowed some more chilli seeds,brassicas and second lot of peas/beans as insurance against our unpredictable weather. walked about in the drizzle with my cup of tea admiring all the blossom and generally feeling very happy that we have our plot ! ;D

The pea and bean sowing epic has started... 150 tall peas (Telephone) and about two hundred assorted beans in last night/early this morning, mostly climbing french of varieties that dry well plus some giant butter beans. I'm about half-way through.... THe 6-to-a-half-tray modules arrived in the post today so there's a lot of squash to be sown and put into the heated propagators, plus there's a load of stuff to pot on from their first modules...... need to check the sunflower roots, it's growing like Audrey at the moment, it might need a bigger pot already....

Finally got the bean trench filled back in and the canes are up ready.
Must remeber to empty the freezer, so I can refill with all those lovely veggies that will be coming along. :P
More weeding to be done when the weather gives me a break.
I must also remeber to start to seperate the seedlings for the rest of the garden.
Plenty to do and more to think about.
Still must get on, as work needs to be done too.

Dug more of plot 2. Loads more to go, need rain to soften the ground. Greenhouse heaving, stuff will be ready to go in as soon as I harden it off so I think I should be out there digging still with miners lamp attached to my head.

Finiished the pea and bean epic today... squash and sweetcorn will have to wait a week, the butterbeans need the propagators, and there's 20+ other varieties in there as well... finished up with 20 trays of beans, about 350 modules all told, prolly near a thousand seeds..... They 'll be twinning Swindon with Chicago by October...... Also did up three trays of beetroot (Moneta and Boltardy), salady stuff, herbscabbages, cauliflowers and Romansescu.... They're aa;; in th ekitchen on a load of staging, the windowsill adn the kitchjen table......
