Point taken you two!! ::) ::) Anyway it's somewhere in the utility room now and the door is not only closed but locked...

And I did nothing in the garden today apart from that because I spend ages doing my lottie committee minutes, still moving furniture and (no I'm not shouting) PICKED UP MY BRAND NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harvested some carrots, string lined and dug a small trench and lined with leaf mould ready for the carrots, but it was far too windy to sow them today but was nice and warm in the sun  8) when the wind dropped a bit.  ;D ;D ;D 
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.

I repotted an azalea and a jasmine that I got very very cheap in Homebase today.

Sowed Red baron sets, and golden delight sets.

Gave growmore to the garlic.

Set some of my chilli leggy seedlings in toilet rolls to support them.(as seen somewhere on the forum)
:D :D

Cemented in a brick edging to my lawn too.

Gave all my beds a good going over, planted a pear at the back of one of my sheds the idea being to use the back of the shed as a wall. The batteries on my camera run down before i could take one of the back of the shed but there is one there.... honest. ;D

If I ever get it all right - then that's the time to quit.

I spent a happy couple of hours being followed around by a very fearless Blackbird as I tided up a plot opposite mine. I was hacking out bits of old air raid shelter and clearing the path so you could see it, the Blackbird helping by eating some chafer bugs I uncovered as I cut the turf back. Cut out a load of brambles, pruned some fruit bushes so you can walk down the path without being spiked, dug up some buried plastic bags and a bit of semi rotted carpet...all in all a very pleasant morning! ;D
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

cleaned out the bunnies, swept out the shed, raked the path, brought some pots in to clean, lit the incinerator, lit a bonfire.
