strictly speaking, it was yesterday- had a wonderful time emptying the compost bin in order to move it, so that we can put up a greenhouse in its place. Was amazed by the amount of compost one dalek can hold!
Als emptied out my chaalenge potato bag- very happy!

Dug up one garlic plant, and it hadn't cloved, even with all that cold winter weather. Hope the rest have!

Transported ancient bench up to plot 2, and shared a strawberry with he who seldom visits. This would have been an event but I still have no sense of taste or smell :(

Spent ages at lottie today, planted out cabbages, cauli, sweetcorn, sprouts, weeded and tidied loads - also got locked in! My 13 year old son, who has been a star today fetching plants and things for me, on his last trip to lottie he dropped the plants just as he was unlocking and then when it came time to leave we couldn't find the key! Turns out he had dropped it outside the lottie when picking up plants - cue some inventive reaching with a metal pole!

8etween the showers that didn't even permeate the first half inch if soil!

1) Four rows of turnip seeds went in.
2) Hacked down some weeds
3) Earthed up some spuds.
4) Cleared a bit more of a bed for spuds.
5) Put up some poles to re-mark our plot until the fence arrives.
6) Hoiked out weeds from round the raspberry bushes.
7) Weeded the onion bed.

8) Collapsed exhausted! Lol

Sowed a row of beetroot and a row of broad beans- never grown either before but both were free seeds and I had some room! Planted out one squash and 12 sweetcorn and about 12 leeks. Decided not to mulch until it has rained some more and just as I was about to leave the heavens opened- but only for long enough to soak me as I ran to my car.

put more string around my sweet pea wigwams- there are buds at last! put some lovely garden compost around the sprouts, planted the last squash and 5 sweet corn, put canes and netting around the corn as the last lot got pulled out and eaten (not sure of the culprit), moved more fox excrement and earthed up the potatoes.
