Re-potted tomatoes to bigger pots, earthed up 8 rows of potatoes, got ground ready to plant sweetcorn, watered carrots and beetroot which were planted last week, thinned out radishes.

Job for tomorrow is to weed around onions. :( Put up wigwams for runner beans :)

Called in at the Plot to test my new battery powered grass strimmer (Bosch ART23 Li). It only weighs about two and a half kilos and is perfect for me to use as I have MS.

Yes and I am on nights again this week, so not much getting done as sleep is on my mind as always. ::)

todays job is to go back down with the boys water some more and find the rose that fell of one of little lads watering cans yesterday. Hope I can find it and its not at the bottom of one of our water tanks.

Will go back down tonight and water some more too. Oh to be able to use a hose pipe on an allotment. I'll feel like a monkey with long arms when im done.

Tell me about it, but everything is doing really well, broad beans and runner beans went in at the weekend and the are looking fab, need to have a massive attack on the new weeds that have just popped up over night on the potatoes..

So tonight's job is watering and weeding so by Friday can do some more planting, need to get some more bone meal.. :)

Planted 20 Sarpo Mira (cheapo deal from T+M with free postage too), also weeded a bit round the spud mounds..... that soil wasn't dug properly, I just turned it over a couple of times with a rotavator then put the ridger through it..... there's a lot of weeds waiting to happen, the greast mulching with cardboard and manure starts this weekend....

I also got a dense row of mixed alliums in from modules.... 24 clumps of Long Red FLorence, 50 clumps of Borretana and a dozen of Banana shallots...

Found my plot neighbour has given me a horseradish thong.... they were badgering me into accepting somethign for the manure I drop off for them ...I pick up five dumpy bags a time by loading myself at the equestrian centre, I generally stick a bag down on their plot.... I find it a bit embarrassing though cos they've clearly bought the horseradish, I was assuming they'd know someone with some they could swap for or something.....

Potted on more plants and got my runners into the ground.
Watered plenty and looked over the seedlings to see what needs potting on now.
Strawberries well into flowering and gooseberries are showing signs of having a good crop this year.
