I'm going up the plots today. Think I may have to change the growing plan I have in mind. The usual bit of plot 2 is not co-operating. I need to start planting out some of the brassicas.

Sat down for yesterday so the back garden is still in need of attention. It's actually in need of a new planting regime. Don't want to resort to bedding plants/need to order new bulbs in the autumn for next spring/need to find two or three colourful perennials for next year. Matters not to be rushed. Lawn has needed replacing for years. That won't happen. Good thing it's only a little garden.

Job no. 1 this morning, then escape to the garden and/or plot.  I have also been on a successful mission this morning to get some slug pellets for my neighbour.  She will be happy when I get home later  :)

Walked the dog, it's glorious out there, tide out, the sun is shining and we had the beach to ourselves.  Will put the washing out and then it's of to work, my bosses paperwork is making a mess of his desk and he's asked that I go in and clear it.  My once a fortnight is now once every 6weekish but it keeps the brain ticking over.

...plant out the Sunflowers, and take down the temporary outside shelves we use for hardening off. It's always a great, signal day, for clearing the stuff, especially when it's as sunny as now!

As we have thirty Sunflowers, I'll probably have to dig up another few square yards to make room for them as well - goodness knows where...

Went to the plot yesterday afternoon to get the strimming done. Today is plant out the last of the cabbage and a few greens and salads.

I need to check my seeds as well. I know swedes need doing but I’m thinking there are a few more that have been missed  :unsure:  Decision time as to whether to go for it or leave it for next year coming up  :lol:

Had a day on the plot, just having a brew before I go back on.
Spent a little time weeding. Leek rows are now prepped ready for the leeks in a week or so to be transplanted.
Had a brainwave  :wacko: see photo, this is now MK3 plastic bottle dripper system, this I think is the one.
Checked and gave a little feed to me tadpoles, they are growing up so quick now.
Got to sort what we are eating for tea in a bit as well and of course post the poem on the whatts app group.

Carry on with the revamp of the back garden,  an old lady lived here before and it was badly neglected, it is going to be a long job because it takes me twice as long to do half as much. LoL

...feel a bit mis, as all the plants are now out there in their new homes, and all I've got to do is start garden maintenance, like the hedges, painting the shed, hoeing etc!

It's a bit like the kids leaving home; a new phase, a new season...

Started the day with a nice 18 mile cycle ride up Blackpool prom and then inland and back home, for the most was fairly quiet.
Sat now waiting on a parcel to come.
Will pop onto the plot a little later when it has cooled down a little.
