watered (everything was bone dry this morning) and planted some tomato seeds. Got to tidy the shed soon, I can't find anything in it!  :blink:

Do we share a plot?  :unsure:

Mine was watered four days ago by hand and now needs another splosh.
My shed is also in a muddle. ::)

Very frustrating  :(  can't do anything yet .....

Thrift - just keep reminding yourself that once your knees are better that you will be able to do so much more than in the past.

You're quite right Springlands. I had a bit of a setback with infection but am back on course now. The doc was talking about doing the other one soon so it would be good to get it all over and then would really be superwoman next year.  :D

Hope your pains are not too bad in this damp weather. Rosemary

Sorry to hear about the infection Thrift - but good that your are in the mend. Pains are OK except that I sprained my ankle recently and that is restricting me a bit - but getting better at last.

Sometimes just putting your feet up is good - you can think of all of the hard work that you have done so far.  :)

Peas,lettuce planted.  Emptied my old shed and took it down.  Had a massive 'new' one delivered (recycled garage) that Chris, his mate and me had to cut down an re-erect.  Now decided to use my old shed as a potting shed as its only 3 years old and i just need to put another window in.

Roof on 'new' shed goes on tomorrow and woodburner installed  :D

Shattered!

Today I just went and sat on my bench and looked at my plot.   :) :) :)

I did pick some rhubarb, cut off the leaves and shove them (the leaves) in one of the water butts to use for watering the cabbages.

I also looked at the shed and thought about tidying it.  Then I went and sat on my bench again and thought about tidying it some more.

Maybe I will tidy it this weekend.............................
I always find that work gets in the way of life.

quick visit, did some digging and had a quick hack at the weeds on the undug section, then home as the weather was just starting to spit with rain.

two more rows of spuds. bit more removal of weeds from future strawberry patch.
removed all the tussocks of grass from the allotment - only had it two weeks. Most of it still needs digging but when you can't see great big weeds it looks better

"Retired" old sage and thyme bushes and put in some new plants.  Watered all the asparagus and mulched (no harvest this year).  Sowed basil and kale in pots.

Planted some oregano, curry plants, grapefruit mint, winter savoury and catmint in an old butler sink we found.

Earlier this week planted:
2 rows spinach
2 rows perpetual spinach
2 rows red (rhubarb) chard
1 row boltardy red beets
1 row yellow beets

Already have in:- salad pots in big containers, parnsips, onions, carrots.

Sowed:- cukes, cauliflowers, red cabbage, broad beans. peas for plants and for eating pea shoots, rocket, cavelo nero, toms, chillis, peppers, celery, shark fin melon, green & yellow courgette.

Job for today?  give the pots in tubs a nice drinky then have a nice drinky of coffee myself and watch it all grow a bit more!  ;)

I had a go at the weeds and build a wigwam for my runner beans and French beans looked at the damage the mole had created and left in a huff as we have just tackled the rabbit problem by fencing off the plot so the next thing is getting rid of the mole.
