"Sliced" sugi trunks in 3 meters length, removed some brunches, burned organic rubbish.
Picked up some broccoli, leek, green peas, warabi(sort of furn).

grendel, just wonder, what is your rotovator model?

Got to the lotty to find bazza waiting with a hot brew and a lump of bread pudding,so after consuming that I got down to Rotovating 2 raised bed areas.
After clearing the stones and smoooothing the earth I planted some early onward peas for an autumn harvest.
The other bed had some Offenham 2,s for winter greens.

My stone pile is certainly growing ""is it just my plot that is full O the soandsos".!!!

Watered and did some Hoe work around our fruit bushes,bad news is our raspberry canes look lifeless and on closer inspection (after snapping) the canes insides are brown and dead.
These are new canes from a reliable dealer who will be getting said canes just to see what is said..!!!!!!!!!!!!.....

Yet my old canes are happily flowering and fruiting......O well

Bent down to undo my hosepipe and felt my back go into spasm....aaahhhhhhhh...

Not good today,and am grateful him upstairs has decided to water our plot for us...

[Thephoenix572]

Did lots of hand wedding some watering and plenty of chatting

[mumofstig]

nothing on plot as rain has stopped play!

Sowed some more romanesco cos the blinking sparrows have eaten the first lot to stubs and all my baby citrus thyme were gone as well
I thought the modules were safe on the table away from slugs *sighs* 

[dexyblue]

has anyone else noticed there seems to be a hell of a lot more sparrows than normal about. Eating everything in sight 

[Grubbypaws]

Yes and avid vegetarians!!

I have huge numbers of sparrows and have to have almost everything covered. I will never grow peas again as they love them so much that no deterrent is up to the job.  I can only surmise that they are burrowing in under the netting as each day I secure it thoroughly but each evening a sparrow is in there munching away   

One of the sad things about the sparrows is that they have seen off my colony of house martins. They simply took over their nests. I really miss them swooping over me as I watched my garden grow and seeing the youngsters peeping over the nest edge 

Today I have sown some more carrots and Pak choi as well as some salad leaves and rejoiced at the appearance of my potatoes

Yesterday i lugged all the slabs, sand and cement i needed to make a sturdy shed base up, took three car trips cos it was so heavy, unfortunatly the drop off point is 100m away from the plot, i was crippled when i went into work for the evening! 
  and today I put the base down, luckily my neighbour Norm was there to show me how people who don't just have to rely on book knowledge do it before i lost my mind!
  the instruction to ensure that your dry cement mix and slabs are 100% flat and even is up there with the "I've found a way to solve the fuel crisis, all we need is some sort of tablet that dissolves into water to make petrol!!! " line!
 i also gorged myself on raspberrys, strawberrys, tayberrys and did a bit of hoeing,
i'm glad i have tonight off!

grendel, just wonder, what is your rotovator model?

its an old Norlett, pre-cursor to the beaver powerspade and built a lot sturdier, its similar to the landmasters that have a long drive shaft with the digging tines at the end, the driveshaft is driven directly by the engine so the rotors are  going all the time.

I just popped in to see if we had more strawberries- 6 nice ripe ones. Also picked some salad leaves.
