2) Pot up the oregano and give to my adopted sister
3) Transplant some Lady's Mantle and Cowslips

Just got to the plot today when it started thundering. I spent most of the time hiding in the toilet, then went home.

weeding

[skyblu]

I nematoded my plot!

[hopalong]

Neighbour's plot completely overgrown so he offered me £20 to clear it, which I accepted with gratitude - though on reflection, I think I should have asked for more (an MP would have done). Less time to do what I wanted to do on my own plot, but managed to plant out various climbing beans that I'd grown in modules - Cosse Violette and Borlotta di Fouco mainly. Also planted out some more brussels sprouts and broccoli under netting before the rain started.

I've been meaning to make a measuring stick - a bean pole with 2", 6", 12", 24" etc marked on it with a marker pen.

No matter what you mark it with it will soon be impossible to see. May I suggest strategic saw cuts, (slots and notches) and drill holes.
