Got the strawberries into the ground this morning before going to work, along with a morello cherry from a pot where its been since I got it as a bare root this winter, plant

chrisced out the last of my pickling onions and seed-grown shallots.... the only hardy stuff left in modules now are the assorted brassicas and the leeks. Because of predicted cold weather tonight I moved all the tomatoes and other tenders into the GH and shut it down, also laid out the hose and leaky-pipe runs in the polytunnel, cut them to length and put them together with assorted junctions and jubilee clips.

What are you sowing thistles for? Or do you mean 'silly bum'?

Planted out some more cauli's to replace the ones lost over the winter. Potted up some toms for the spring sale and then dug the holes for the squash and filled them with manure and of course watered.

Yesterday it was not 2 windy so went on the attack with the weed killer.

I sowed all my tomatoes and chillis for the garden and for my pouch experiment

Pouches - Blondkopfchen, F1 Sweet Million, Libi, German Red Strawberry, red pear, Money Maker, Gardeners Delight, Aji Dulce, Anaheim, Bolivian Rainbow, Hawaian Sweet Hot, Chilhuacle Rojo and Negro

Garden - plum Fryer, Legend, Heinz, Orange banana, Jersey

So far today

Watered all my peas which have all popped there heads though the ground no sign of anything else (leeks, carrots, beans, beetroot) popped into wilko who were reducing trays of some neglected baby shrubs and flowering plants down to 10 and 20 pence so spent £1.50 and am just having a break from giving them some water/love and attention and if they survive another week i will pot them on until there safe for the garden.

Also planting up another tray of beans just in case the ones i have planted dont germinate.

tied in the Tomatoes again, watered spuds, and installed an outside tap @ home, over the royal doulton belfast sink,

Mowed, strimmed,watered and chewed the fat

In the last few days: Mowed, watered and emptied big compost bin (pallet bin) for greenhouse soil top mulch. Sowed beans into pots. Sowed squash into pots. Pulled weeds and half filled the other side of the pallet bin (this will shrink to nothing within days), must mix some cardboard in with it. Fed worms in worm bin, they get through stuff much quicker now than they did a month ago, guess the colony is growing. Not sure what to do about some ants in the bin? Cut comfrey and lovage and ran mower over them (as suggested by GW), put into liquid fertiliser bin with a lot of nettles from under the hedge. Mowing comfrey saves time, but leaves stalks on the ground which have to be picked up separately. Used some of the chopped comfrey as light mulch on the potatoes.

Had a lovely day just tidying and weeding the plot and polytunnel. Sowed salad leaves. Just g ;)reat and feel lots better for it.

Sat around in between customers, having cups of tea and a barbeque, laughing and chatting, oh, yes, and watering all the 'for sale' plants and baskets

Laughed my head off when buying four bags of manure in the allotment shop. Nice old geezer who runs the shop (his name escapes me) wrote it up on the sale list as "Four bags of horse poo".

I said "I can't believe you really wrote horse poo".

He said "It's taken years for them to get me to write that."

I was being artistic this weekend, not much gardening done, but my garden sculpture which i'm making for a dear friends 60th birthday gained a few more branches, and some leaves, (pics to follow)
