Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

Took the flagpole down from the shed and bolted it to longer supports. Should be flying high tomorrow.

No need to go to the lotty because it is still wet up there, but having just met a guy in the Canaries last week who is growing all kinds of things at the moment out there it made me envious of the climate, so I will settle to fill a few seed trays this morning, :)

Oooh-loads of digging and clearing grass to make the beds, moved loads of poly and found 3 frogs of varying sizes, cut back brambles at top of garden to make room for compost, had a cup of tea, taught girls how to play bishbosh-an advanced version of squash requiring one bouncy ball, one tennis racquet and the side wall of a house. Really didn't think that one through... ;D
Out there again tomorrow...I luuurve half term. 8)

Went to the plot for first time in months and was pleasantly surprised - took up some of the black covers and delighted to find bare soil underneath. Did some digging to get out some of the surviving couch roots and some more covering, it seems to be working. Dug up my first ever leeks and made lovely soup. Sooo good to get back there, and it just shows the work we did last year is paying off.

Dug up the last of the leeks, last parsnip and rest of Jerusalem artichokes, then replanted some for next year. It was a nice sunny morning but still too wet for digging really. Sorted out the last of the spuds in the shed (threw lots away) and dug up the sprout stems which had been well and truly chewed, and did some general tidying up. Thought about the work ahead and when I got home sent an email to the council asking if they would be prepared to divide my plot in two so I'll have half the work and someone else can have a half plot.

Potted on the big onions, some of the maincrops and some walking onions. In the space that cleared in the propagators I've got more maincrop onions (Sturon and Long Red Florence), more walking onions, leeks (Musselburgh) , spring onions (Ishikura) chillis (Tabasco, Anahiem, Iranian Round, Wenks yellow) and cabbage (Hispi)
