if you want to be happy for a short time, get drunk; happy for a long time, fall in love; happy for ever, take up gardening

Planted in 10 new strawberry plants

Planted some carnations into the plot - hoping to get a good amount of different cut flowers this year

Squished a load of baddies on my Gooseberry bushes - that felt good!!! WIll nip back round later and squish some more as im sure to have missed some.

Loads of stuff germinated and doing well

Gave everything a real good water as its so dry - then just admired my hard work - must say my plot is looking the best since ive had it - just hope i can keep on top of the weeding this year when holiday season starts!

I potted on aubergines, peppers, and chillies.  I have a nice south facing wall these will go on with some old double glazing panels for comfy warmth.  Not going out until June though.  So the double hight heated propagator doing just fine.  Now can't get into my green house as the floor is covered with Toms chillies globe artichokes and squash.  Don't you just love it

took the hose to both plots, filled the water butts and watered the seeds/seedlings, gosh the soil is dry - already.

Dug and dug some more, still trying to catch up!!! Cleared all the weeds and grass from under raspberry canes, sited another Dalek compost bin, weeded the plot and watered everything. Sowed lettuce under 3ltr coke bottle cloches... :)

Sowed tomatoes, planted 'pretty pot' of lettuce and nasturtiums in the old gerbil 'cage' just donated to me.  Counted hundreds of flowers on chili plants and ate ice cream.  Earthed up first earlies. What a fab day.

watered plot and noticed all broad beans are up and rocket is now showing also tomatoes coming on nicely in plastic greenhouse .
was going to apply for vacant plot but now have decided to keep the one i have instead and despite the shaded side keep persevering.

looked at the new shed to see how it will fit on my plot nicely the weekend :)  and looking forward to a long weekend on the plot coming up
when im with my 9yr old she's the sensible one

started taking down a greenhouse at the in-laws to take to my plot about 200 miles away
(visiting for a few days)

was going well getting all the glass out with no breakages then on to the frame. Mixture of greenhouse bolts (square headed) that either shear or unscrew fine and some normal bolts that are rusty and spin in the frame making it impossible to get out.

after struggling for a while I went out and bought another angle grinder (got on at home ....about 200 miles away) and started removing the stuck bolts.

will finish it tomorrow

I was thinking the same thing only the other day
