Planted 2 rows of red electric, and watched the wife pot a blueberry bush to celebrate her 40th.
Some women like diamonds and pearls,
give mine a set of onions and a fruit bush and she's well chuffed. ;D

Put our two goldfish in a large muck bucket full of pond water - had a good dredge of the pond and pulled out loads of reeds and iris - topped it up and they'll be back in situ in the morning :)

enjoyed the sun again and finally got the garlic and winter onions in, planted out a new strawberry bed and had a good clear up, still lots to do but the list gets shorter :)

Similar here, got my first batch of overwintering onions, shallots and garlic in and covered with wire mesh to stop the foxes playing with them! ;D

Prepared bed for alliums. Planted up space left from removing Tayberry with raspberry canes that had wandered out of their row, so now have row of 10 Glen Clova instead of 6 GC and a Tayberry (I gave the Tayberry away...prefer boysenberry's so I'll get one of those instead). Picked more Autumn Bliss Raspberries then found my summer raspberry Glen Moy had triple what I picked on the AB ripe so now have nearly full 2 L container! Would you believe that took 3 1/2 hours! But lovely day here.

Today I sat in the shed for two hours collecting rents. I did shell out some more beans that I picked yesterday! ;D

Oversaw the final 4 loads of cow manure delivered to the site this morning.That makes a total of 16 loads over the weekend.

At £18 a load that makes the farmer a cool £288 for about 6 hours work.

Dug a trench this morning too and filled it will anything I could find to make it nice for the runner beans next season.

Winter dug a fairly large area and incorporated lots of manure.I actually dug it in and did not spread it over the top.

Had lots of breaks for cups of tea too ;D
