I have sorted out my nail varnish, chucked a load out !,   I have cut my lovely long nails short a few weeks ago, I thought there was less chance of germs.  Usual things like a bit of housework, hair washing, thinking about tomorrows washing.   Lunch time Village Walk.  Answered a few emails.   Went out into the garden, transplanted a plant that I planted yesterday and explained to her why. ::)  Scrubbed out some Terracotta pots and then soaked them, and finally planted them up.    Watered the plants and came in for a Salad and Omelette.  Sat down about 7pm and promptly went to sleep.  Now I shan't sleep again tonight  :mad:  Mrs B

Get up into the roof to find all the old sheets we use when painting 'The Turrets', and get them organised so that the outside plants can get used to 'self-insulating' over the next few days, when we're due some chilly weather!

Then I'm going to sow some more seeds in succession, fill all the pots for the geraniums, move all the trays of baby salad around to get better light, and generally make a real mess of the whole place - all in one morning!

Then I'm going to have a short kip after lunch, as JRT woke me up very early, wanting to go out, and I didn't...

Check to see whether the runner bean and sweetcorn seeds have sprouted yet in their plastic boxes - if yes, sow into the paper pots I made yesterday.

Lockdown has meant I'm almost on top of the weeds (for now) - the weather has meant I'm spending a lot of time watering (I'm lucky enough to have an online weather station situated only a few hundred yards from my house, and the records show that in Feb we had 189mm of rain, March just 11mm, so far this May, 0.6mm.  :nowink:)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

Didn't do any of the above, as our lovely neighbour gave me her beehive-style compost heap, which she didn't want any more!

So it's been a day of sanding, brushing and painting, and I've also now got paint on my best gardening shirt, so as it's only about twenty-five years old, I'll seriously have to consider replacing it, probably in about five years time...

I've walked the dog, it's low tide so we had a wonderful walk on the sand.  Washing in the machine.  Going to deliver some strawberries to my son at his allotment, will take my flask of coffee and have a natter.  Runner beans to sow, tomatoes to pot on.  Salad leaves to sow, and garden to be sat in.  If I get bored I might even get the Hoover out, or then I might not.

Back garden time.  It needs a sort out. Hasn't had one for years. Looking tatty in places. Thing is that stuff has been put in the border along the back next to the border fence and thick hedge where it's damp and shady so things aren't thriving. Whatever, even empty space might be better at the moment.
