Well I dragged the whole family down to the plot yesterday - husband was delighted  :wub:
But I finally have storage so I took some tools down and put together a plastic climber thing for the kids to play on (mainly for my 2yr old to keep him out of mischief)
Also moved a load of pallets as I'll be putting in my earlies there.
So although I didn't do anything growing wise, I should be able to next time!

Emptied and moved 2 of the 3 compost bins on the big plot.  Dug over and weeded a patch for them to stand on, then refilled 1 with the stuff that needs more time and topped off with used compost, so I can grow something on it.

Started digging next to the bins and worked in the good compost.  Next stretch involves digging out the old raspberries, which is going to be a pig of a job.  Better eat my spinach for the next few days  ;)

Sowed some broad beans in modules as I don't know when I'll be at the plot next, but at least I have made a start now!

Don't look like I'll be doing much today.
Yesterday I sowed 2 rows of carrots and a row of radish,then moved my strawberries from the bed  into a strawberry tower
Hopefully that will stop some of the critters eating them.🐌🐁

Pretty wet here today. Mind you checked conservatory and pleased to find broccoli has germinated despite being 6 years out of date. Beetroot, lettuce and broad beans also coming on well. All I need now is some dry warm weather. 😉😉
Cheers HH
Keep digging

Started digging out the old weed infested raspberries.  Got about halfway down the row before I ran out of steam.

Transplanted some onions to maximise spave, then digging and adding very rotten manure to provide a bed for my first earlies. Flower seeds planted up in the polytunnel and a healthy dose of weeding!

Charlotte and Pink Fir Apple spuds in along with a couple of josaberry bushes. Also managed to have a bit of a weed and put some BFB around the garlic.

The last of the potatoes went in and also sowed a couple of short rows of beetroot and Swiss chard.

Nothing at the plot, but a mammoth seed sowing session in the potting shed in the back garden. I was at it all day sowing all sorts, and having a general tidy up of the shed as I went along. Looks a lot better now.

So, what did I achieve today?

Painful knee.  :(

Painful back.  :(

Hamstrings that will be protesting hugely to the point that I already know I will find it hard to get out of bed on Tuesday morning.  >:(

But, on the other hand, a goodly amount of weeding  :D

And the sun was out  :D

Life could be worse indeed  :)
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
