Half-built a lean-to storage shed with the help of a friend's engineer boyfriend who understands flat-pack better than I do. Drank gin in the sun.

Yesterday I acquired 25 bags of soil that were on there way to the dump, I helped a neighbour/bloke from work to load them in his car and we took them to the lottie, it saved him a 8 mile round trip 3 times, my lottie was only a 2 minute drive.
I topped up my tub challenge spuds with some of the soil and sieved some more for my pallet hold up thingy for the small raised beds.
Filled another with council compost and give most of the plot a good watering later when the Sun was off the plot. 8) 8) 8)

Got my peas and broad beans in, watered them in too.
Got the Tommies on the go and sowed some more carrots and onions.
Repaired two troughs and filled them with soil ready to grow toms and climbers in.
Put some growmore onto the beds ready for stuff to grow and got more tomato food for the plants to show their best.
Now the rain has started so will have a nice cuppa. ;D

Finished sowing peas, mangetout, leeks, carrots and beetroot in 1 raised bed. Salad seeds in pot.
Filled potato and sweet potato planters (not recieved slips yet but getting soil ready) with soil and fingers crossed will be planting vales emerald, charlotte and maris piper today.
Just heading out to do the potatoes now then a bit of a tidy up of the mini green house so i can sow more seeds tonight planning on getting onions, cabbages, sprouts and herbs started.
Last day of gardening for 2-6 weeks so fingers crossed this is not all for nought!

With the boys' help yesterday put up some wigwams for most of our peas and moved out some seedlings - just the troughs to prepare for the mange tout to grow against our fence next.
Looked out this morning to see the sparrows flying around carrying bits of string in their beaks! :)

Weeded and weeded...don't the b----s grow fast! ::) Noticed Nicola spuds are through in most of the trenches. The 4 broad bean plants that survived the snow are almost in flower, tomatoes need planting in poly but no room yet as salad and strawberries are in the way.Tomorrow is another day but the outdoor toms need pricking out and the sweet peas need a home by the trellis...and after that I hope to cut out a pair of trousers..

Installing an electric fence to keep the rabbits out (I would shoot them, but next door they have horses so not a good idea). Then went to lunch with the cycling club (Seniors) by car, afterwards collected a member from hospital after a hip replacement. Back home to finish off the electric fence.
I am trying a farming method of killing off the weeds by leaving half the plot fallow and rotavating it regularly during the Summer. The ditch will be done with some Sodium Chlorate which I have in stock, when that's gone I shall have to think of another way. I do have a Sheen X300 flame gun (paraffin burner). A high pressure sprayer with paraffin is quite effective on everything except groundsel and thistles, sprayed early morning when the forecast is for a very hot day.

Planted out the bunyards broad beans and wire netted them, watered and did a bit more weeding. I cannot believe that I haven't sown my courgettes or squash yet.

Finishesd the clearing up of the front of plot 1 so that it can be dug, only "scruffy" bit left there now is a dumpy bag half-full of manure that I'll be digging in once it's dug anyway so it might as well stay there.... did a little bit more glazing on the GH....

potted on around 80 tomato plants and about the same in pepper seedlings just hoping the mini and the bigger plastic greenhouses are going to be warm enough. Taken the chance and planted out the squash which i sowed way too early into grow bags and tied to frames in greenhouse. Hoping to grow them vertically. Planted out primo cabbage plants, all year round cauliflowers and red acre cabbage into a prepared bed covered by polytunnel. Have sewn spinach, resistafly and chatenay carrots, bolthardy and cylindrica beetroot and purple plum radish with some onion sets and spring onion seeds in a prepared bed covered with polytunnels. I am absoloutly shattered now and resisting the urge to have a warm bath and go to bed as my FMS is playing up again.
