planted yet more spuds 8) had been given 10 tubers free of Sofia, 2nd earlies, sowed some cucumbers, kohl rabi and radishes, potted on some chillies, picked the first rhubarb, trod on a mouse and killed it :'( don't ask how I did that, weird, enjoyed the blossom on the damson and one of the plums, hoe'd here and there, pruned the pear trees and noted the broad beans are poking through, buried the mouse :-[

Got the bed ready for the spring sown broad beans and at last I mowed the grass while Tony put some supports up my willow arch. Will post a pic when it gets into shape.

Started cleaning up my crevice garden (yesterday) morning and planting out some alpines.
In afternoon went to plot and finally got in last of the potatoes-Anya. Cleaned out the chickens and let them do a spot of scrating they love that :)

Dead-headed 500+ daffodils, pressure washed the patio, & did some serious work on my suntan!
