A tiny bit of digging but had to give in as it was freezing and blowing a gale tonight :(

Planted a new blackcurrant, covered the spuds up and put up some bean poles in the hope the weather gets warmer again at some stage ;D

Went to look at how the plot had fared whilst away for 2 weeks. Amazing progress. Parsnips up Beetroot up. Tatties still keeping warm under the soil. pansy baskets in full flower. Picked a carrier full of PSB. Spent the afternoon blanching it and transplanting 160 begonias.

Rotovated every bit of empty soil on Friday then, yesterday, planted three-and-a-half rows of potatoes as well as a double row of broadbeans and sowed a row of carrot seed.

Today: potted on 36 cherry tomatoes - Sungold, Bambino and Gardeners Delight.

With the threat of frost, I constructed a simple plastic sheet covering over some 'special garlic' |I have and I popped a fleece over our plum tree! Cheers, Tony.

Tonys leg is playing him up so he just filled the water butts while I dug the spare ground that runs alongside our plot ready for sowing the mixed annuals on Sunday.Also made room in his chalet for the cats cage that is arriving on Moday.
Came home and booked another holiday for October. We decided that October would be the best time for the next holiday when most of the harvesting is done. ;D. Thats my excuse anyway

Yesterday I pricked out 80 marigolds intended for sharing if they make it.

Not done anything today except sort though my seeds its very cold and windy out so am staying in have 2 more nights in work and lots of people are ill i can't afford to have another cold as i have just got over a chest infection and a sinus infection :(

So to make best use of my time i have been amending my gmail account calendar, well created a new one and am populating it with details of what i have sown and started to set up alerts as to next jobs and for next year to start ones i have already missed like planting chilli and pepper seeds in January whoops might nip down to defland nursery one day and pick some up to get me started :)

There was a link to a online planner one of the A4A people had done but all the information on that is on my now dead laptop :(
