Dug over a bed and sprinkled with lime. Planning to use the bed for brassicas. Emptied out an old container of chicken manure pellets and washed it out as they had become a rather smelly sludge. 🙈🙈Sowed some out of date purple sprouting broccoli in a pot at home -no issue if it doesn't germinate but seems silly to not give the seeds a chance to grow. Extracted my plastic green house from the garage I need to erect it and stop my spuds being cooked in the conservatory.

  Soil still to wet to dig so potatoes etc will have to wait in the shed , planted lettuce seeds, cucumbers, tomatoes 
 peas, broad beans, celery weeded the flower borders, sorted out the potting shed I can actually walk from one end to the other now ... where did 8hours go!!

Last night with my children's help I potted up some tomato seeds.
Crossing my fingers that I can sort out some angling club business in plenty of time to get home and empty the compost bin, and put it on the veg patch before it gets dark!!

Sowing seeds in the polytunnel, celery, spinach, spring onions and coriander to start. Potatoes chitting nicely.

Planted two rows of beetroot, two of onion sets.

Not done n the plot, but finally finished washing all the plant pots & finished the assembly of my new greenhouse staging & put it in position & the new shelf I bought at the same time, very posh it looks

[New shoot]

Yesterday I finished mulching the fruit, finally dismantled my ramshackle and cobbled together cage for growing greens and dug the area over.

I installed 2 new small fruit cages side by side - bought cheaply in the garden centre January sales as both were missing the netting from the boxes, then set up the framework for a slightly less shameful attempt at a greens cage in front of them. 

[Flowertot]

Put in the first 2 rows of potatoes

In the garden, continued sorting out the now washed plant pots, cleaned the wide blow away down & installed it in the greenhouse & the small one with no cover. Then a re sort in the shed, to make it flow a bit better. I had had a wooden tool chest from my dad's workshop when I cleared it after mum died, I'd put it under the wide shelf, but I couldn't really see in it. So emptied it of all the plant pots, moved it to by the door, refilled it with labels, string, chemicals. Then I'd got a couple of self inflating kneeler, so I inflated them & now I've got somewhere to sit.

Over this weekend I've done some digging, sowed first earlies and planted two blueberry bushes in an old tin bath.

[New shoot]

Planted out honeyberries and a blackcurrant in my new fruit cage duo.  Planted some broad beans and a few garlics that I had growing in pots.  Dug over the remaining bits of the small plot and covered paths and some planting areas with weed membrane.  The small plot just needs strimming and weedkilling round the edges and it is set to go    The big plot now beckons 

I also had a good tidy up of various bits I had stashed on both plots and came away with a big bag of rubbish - silly bits of netting and weed membrane that are too small to do anything with, broken bits and pieces and other tat that I was keeping for some reason

I know what you mean about all that tat, just why do we do it?

No idea    At home I am ruthless with clutter, but the amount of stuff I save on the plot 'in case it is useful'.  Since I didn't even remember I had half of it, I reckoned that theory was blown and finally chucked it   

[MustbeMad]

At the weekend I managed to do a little more digging - the next two beds just need edging now😀. Picked up some slabs on freecycle to complete the main path, 'note to self': 30" x 24" x 2.5" are **** heavy!

Burnt the last lot of branches and old wood lying around - seems every plot had a bonfire yesterday!

[Aled]

Emptied the compost dalek and spread it over the patch. That's it! There is some serious rain on the way at the moment so I don't know when i'll be able to get stuck in next.
