Thank you.  :) I actually meant to get them in a couple of weeks ago  ::), but having heard mention of them already being in the ground way down south there, I thought!  :ohmy:

Spent two hours taking stones out of a section 1m by 75cm, then sowed some chervil and re pak choi under debris netting so the pigeons won't eat the seedlings as soon as they germinate.

Picked a big bowl of raspberries, more runner beans and courgettes, lots of tomatoes and sweetpeas.

Looked at my aubergines a lot and smiled. Had to prop the biggest plant up with a stick  :lol:

Weeded under my new carrot tunnel -- carrots just beginning to germinate

Transplanted some khol bari that were too close together

started to dig the last part of the plot that has been put off since october  :( 

managed to do more than i planned and continually reminded myself our motto  back when we first started

' whatever has been dug today is less to dig tomorrow' 

towards the end this was through gritted teeth and my smile was disappearing as have loads of couch !!!!!! :mad:  but a quarter of the way there  :D

dig dig dig dig digging, rid me of those little weeds....

We had that torential rain here in Wareham yesterday so, I went to the pot this morning with a bit of trepidation not knowing how the "girls" had fared.  I need not have worried though :)  The "girls" were all out flying and coming back with lots of pollen:)  So, I picked a few pounds of beetroot and carrots from the plot and about 5 pound of tomato's from the polytunnel...............With the way the tomato's are ripening I will get another 30 pounds of them by the end!!  Might also get a few Bell peppers and Chilli Peppers in about a months time as well:)

I did the same thing, don't think they will come to anything, purple ones are fine though.
Watered the seedling rows and picked some more raspberries :)

Started to dig the newly cleared bed, but it's so dry that the top is sand and the bottom layer is like concrete :ohmy: I think it will have to wait for some rain...I spose we will get a good downpour sometime :unsure:
