As I am on nights this week, not a lot doing.
Chopped some wood down for the wood burner and put out more seed for the birds. Seems to be all at the moment. :'(

Got them back now to put some tread on them

transplanted some 'speedy' cauliflower, fillbasket sprout, tuscan salad leaves. sowed some purple haze carrots, finished off the buckets of sweet peas with their sticks to climb up  ;D
Went to our special needs group centre and moved some fruit trees that have been put in the wrong place, sat down now, still got tomatoes to transplant, phew  ;D

Nothing today just a bit soggy here, and oh so close to finishing digging never mind maybe next week, if it dries out over the weekend.

Dug where large cloche was.  Put cloche back, Made furrows, filled with nice crumbly compost from a mature 'dalek' and sowed first Nantes carrots, watered well and put fleece back on.

And a bit more digging .....

had a great time, lovely weather, emptied 2 more compost bins onto fruit bed, one bin is rather large and I nearly fell in, seeing as I am quite small that would have been funny  ;D - planted another 150 onions, sowed some mizuna and spinach and generally tidied up

I had a fab time today, it was actually warm enough for me to have my first long visit to the lotty this year
 ;D
I lifted the black covers from the areas I grew squash on last year....so lovely to see the weed free soil underneath.  And then put it down again in the area I will use for this years squash.

Cleared weeds from around the edges of my raised beds & added compost to the beds, getting ready for planting/sowing etc.

Decided on a place for my new strawberry bed.

Planted artichokes along one of the edges to act as a screen between my plot one of & the neighbouring plots in the hope it will encourage their children to stay off my plants ;)

Had a good old tidy of my small shed......fabulous! Ive missed being down there so much over the winter.

Dug up 2 large patches of lawn to make veggie beds - not sure if I'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow!

I've been tidying up in GH and moving tomato canes around, trying to achieve some space for some extra tomato plants later on...after some careful maneuvering I managed to find room for ONE more plant.. ::)..well it's better than nothing..desperate times ;D But as a bonus with all this hassle. I have got room now for some chillies and peppers too ;D ;D That leave my small GH free for anything and everything..OH JOY.. ;D Must do some plans and lists..
Sown some more dwarf peas in buckets..and some dwarf beans...I can almost taste them now..won't be long now ;D

Had two good mornings on the lotty sowed some more carrots and beetroot plus parsnips, prepared the coldframe for my chillis and had a play with the mantis and I have found out what my raised beds are for, so cats can have a shite in, :)

Planted out my Sturon onions, half straight into the ground and half from modules. Divided some pond plants and generally tidied up in the garden.

Dug over the large border and removed as many weeds as I could. ;D
Sowed more veggies, cabbage, Chives, cauli, and carrots. :P
Lupin seeds are just popping their heads above the soil.
Alyssum and cornflower are up too. :D
Might have to dig up a lot of the forget me nots as they have taken over in one place. :'(
As I was digging the border over, managed to dig up the gladiolus so put them back again.
Plenty of signs of new growth on a lot of plants so well on the way to a good year again me thinks.

Got them back now to put some tread on them

planted a blackcurrant bush we grew from a cutting, plus a sweet cicely from our large one, didn't realise the could be split  ;D
transplanted some more celeriac, every seed came up  :o
transplanted some oregano cuttings that had rooted, moved some cabbage and lettuce seedlings outside, bit too warm in the poly and they're giving a mild week here  ;D
