Topped up three water butts with water from the local stream which is close to overflowing after last night's rain but will be dry again within a week or so.

More yesterday than today but I finished off my 20'x15' pumpkin house for a single AG plant. I'm hoping to get a 1000lbs pumpkin this year (about 71 stone)

Should be fun getting in to bury the vines and water etc. May have to employ some umpaloompas to help :)

Delivered some scaffold planks to use as walkways between rows of veg.. I wont have beds - I've gone for the cottage garden style with rows of veg either side of my main centre path which is flagstoned. Watered the broad beans and 4 rows of garlic as they were looking a bit dry. Carried a few bags of free horse manure from the main gate and spread where my potatoes will go in a week or so time.. Must get all my strawberry plants from the GH and roof to take to the plot for planting at the weekend.
