Jumped for joy that my tomato seedlings have emerged!
Spent saturday arvo at the lottie put in 20 concorde spuds. Dug some more - got myself a blister  :( Broad beans and peas starting to pop up  :)
Sowed some loose-leaf lettuce in a grow-bag. Sowed chives, sweet peas, cucumber, peppers and pumpkin.
Read my HDRA encyclopedia of organic gardening - got obsessed with having a pond - not allowed on my lottie and no garden of my own  :( Had a look at aquatic plants in the garden centre any way  :)

wow moggle - that avatar of yours scares me :D ;)

digging on friday, putting in spud on saturday. checked on fruit bushes - they all seem to take. :)
watered seedlings: radishes are well through, some pinach and lamb's lettuce showing too
though i fear the woodlice will have a few of them, too :(

went to the tip to cart of some bags of rubble from previoous clear up operations - peeked into the rubbish bin, and found a huuuuuge round tub there, also plenty of large and very small plastic pots. 'stole' them from the council - the big tub and pots to be used for plants where i have a concrete bit of the plot (which i wont be able to dig up this year) - the little ones for potting on toms and such

this weeks indoor seedlings doing well - i am quite chuffed
sowed brassicas yesterday, in seed trays but in stations. will see how that does

also a lot of DIY (we only moved two months ago) - still plenty to do as well

Has been a total wash out in Whitley Bay all Easter .  First we had the sea fret, thick cold and wet. and then we had the  all out rain.  Very miserable and nasty.  So no garden or allotment work done at all.  Just took a walk up there and looked around but the place was deserted.  So it has been very frustrating, with all our plans gone haywire.  Been couch potatoes and watched the telly.   :'( 

Get well soon DP.  :) busy_lizzie

glorious couple of days.

Didn't do much in the garden on Friday or Saturday. But did spend a good few hours wondering round and looking at everything on early Saturday evening. The wallflowers look and smell gorgeous. So sweet and honey-like and they shine like golden rays of sun. I'm definitely doing them again. Also watched the pond for ages.

Sunday afternoon had a marathon seed time. Pricked out tomatoes, basil, peas, french beans, broad beans. Then sowed courgettes, squashes, asparagus, marigolds and something else (i forgot, but it is labelled).

monday - sieving. The stones have now been sieved out of the soil and the soil is in the new raised bed, number two. I watered it with coffee and in two weeks, my 2nd and main spuds will go in. It took ages to do that one (we had a huge pile of soil to work through) but it's finally finished. I was also planning on planting the rest of my 1st and 2nd spuds in bags, but ran out of time. Nevermind I'll get them done after work in the evening! hooray for light evenings.
