far too hot - even at 5pm after work - did some light weeding and hoeing, but not a lot else.

Picking up blueberry little by little.
Watered(yes, watered after rain) cucumbers with ash-water mix  :)

Picked a cabbage and some Pentland Javelin, first time i have ever grown potatoes, watered and weeded then went home and we had them with the cabbage and sausages - ummm they were delicious. Didnt realise what i have been missing all these years.

Dibbled in 59 leeks (should have been 60 but I broke one  :( )

Trimmed strawberry plants and set out three runner-plants to replace some dodgy ones

Cut  huge bunch of coriander and my usual ration of sweetpeas  :D

Weeded, haven't been able to get on plot cause of all the heavy rain in the last week.
But am really pleased that sweetcorn is fighting back and rest of veg is okay. :)
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

Dug over an area ready for some more pumpkin plants that we have in the back yard.

constructed a shelter for some tomato plants that were getting too big for their pots, and put those out too - never grown toms outside before, but they were cheap from a garden centre!

Planted out the last of my courgettes and tomatoes last night - these ones outside as there's no room left in my greenhouse, so let's see if they produce anything.
