Wet in Wales poted up runner beans they will go out 1st of May flowers are ready to go in but will we have more frost let hope not. Earthed up spuds yesterday (the ones in grow bags). Cabbages, and coli,s looking good they will be planted out next month as well. Broad beans are in flower but a way to go there yet. Will hope to cut lawns this weekend more compost. ;D

yet more pricking out-I am going to retire one day,-next year?

I now dream of a smaller garden,one I can manage and actually have time to enjoy as opposed to constantly being a mess. It will soon be two years since Jenny first started to say her mouth hurt and by the summer of 2009 we knew she had cancer so gardening was no longer much of a priority
I have a new girl friend so if things work out who knows where I will be next year.

18 years of being surrounded by baby plants and worrying if they will eventually sell is enough!!

Pricked out leeks and dahlia seedlings today.Still windy but much warmer. Need to mulch and attend to cordon apple trees tomorrow.Lots of blossom on plums and pears but too windy for the bees although 1 or 2 bumbles out and about. :)

Last night I concreted in part of the greenhouse foootings (it's a wioerd setup on that GH but makes sense to me now)... THis morning I weeded one of the veg beds at home, potted on a tray of tomatoes (the last tray, these had been hiding) and sowed up two trays of marigolds....

Sowed more seeds- trying the paper method for more things this year (only used for cucurbit seeds before).

Stared cleaning the alpines in pots. Potatoes WILL get all put in tomorrow!

Hoed, watered. Moved some soil to build up a low patch.

on the plot - I planted out the last of my maincrop tatties, sowed some parsnips and some carrots.

in the garden - planted a stray tattie in a bag, potted on some seedlings, and planted out some herbs that I got in the garden centre.

All with the "help" of my 3 year old twins, which meant down the plot it was plant a ptato, do another row, replant first ones, till we got to following instructions.

Called round the lotty after work (roll on next march) and watered the seeds in the coldframe and made a liquid manure/mulch which I put round my Rhubarb and Fruit trees, :)

potted on some tomatoes, dug up some horrid clay behind the greenhouse and wondered what might grow there, and planted the grape vine into the garden after realising it had actually survived the winter in a pot in the greenhouse.

Weeded round the strawberry plants for an hour and fed loads and loads of small slugs to some chickens. Then went to bed as I was night shift last night. BTW how do other allotment holders deal with night shifts? If its daylight I like to do about an hours work before I go to bed as it helps me get to sleep.,

I'm just soooooooooooo glad not to do them any more ;)

One guy on our plots works them regular and he comes on in the morning then goes to bed :-\

What ever I did I just felt awful all the time! :(

Got some tomato plants at weekend and have them in their pots with canes in but thats about it so far.
