Watered all the greenhouses... sun out now, looks lovely. If the compost man gets back to me I could go out and do some digging!

Dug for worms and sieved well rotted compost for planting up!
We have a visit by the year 3 group of the local Primary School tomorrow (each class visits weekly in turn to tend their plot and for a 'subject') and the subject is worms and they like to handle them - the talk covers how useful they are to gardeners and the different types, so it will cover the 'brandlings' who live in the compost heap and the 'lobs' who live in the soil and, if they are about in the compost heap, we'll show them the slow worms. They were sent - by the Woodland Trust I think - ten small saplings each of silver birch, rowan and wild cherry, they don't have very much room in their school grounds for all these so they will pot these up, some will later be planted in the school grounds and the rest we will plant out (when they are a bit bigger) in the allotment wildlife area.

more spuds planted, yukon gold (not tried those before), hoeing, sowed rather a lot of squash but using up old seeds so not sure what to expect, bound to be 100% germination for being reckless ;D, brought home a large tub of salad leaves to use over the weekend and at home sowing courgettes whilst watching the cricket - managed to dodge the showers :D

Father in law came unexpedly for di nner today and kindly took all the chopped ivy in his sprinter van down to the local dump for me. Needles to say it filled up his van :-[ I am so pleased as I struggled with thirty huge sacks up the dump in the week and had run out of energy. We scrubbed and treated the new chicken house and run yesterday and I am spring cleaning the cat run and preparing it for painting in the week.
