Dug a good bit more!!

Planted a row of beetroot, row of spring onions and a row of raddishes. Go nice with some lettuce ive got growing in modules at home.

This year im trying to make the plot look nicer - take more pride in it. Keeping all salad crops together etc.

Little has come through yet - some calbrese just poking through and i think a fleck or two of brussel sprouts may be coming through.

In the garden this aft to decide what else to sow!!

Potted on sweetcorn and courgettes. Played with all singing and dancing watering system that didn't work last year in an attempt to get it to work this year.  Went for a short walk and picked some nettles (got lots of strange looks from dog walking brigade!! ;) ) and topped up nettle tea kettle.

Actually opened each watering end, timed how long each drip took and moved on to all the other 8 vents one  at a time. Did this until they all took 12 seconds to drip.   Its a system for the plastic type small greenhouse I got at the same time. Scarey to think I actually spent 20 minutes timing drips, dread to think how long a system for a proper sized greenhouse would take!

popped in to the plot to drop off a couple of pallets on the way home from work. dug a couple more rows in a bed, tomorrow I make a bench seat on the end of my compost bins after work, weather permitting. bumped into one of the site managers changing the lock for one attached to a chain

A little bit of forking over - the soil is lovely!

Bought some more onion sets and garlic bulbs at the garden centre because they were pretty much giving them away :D I cant deccide wether to put them straight outside or in multi cells to help them get some decent roots and catch up with the others :unsure:

If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

Me too, it's gorgeous weather here and I'm stuck in a call-centre, shackled to my desk and headset  :(
