[New shoot]

Finished my new bigger and better fenced area.  Knackered thin plastic netting now replaced with sturdier stuff that will last longer.  Hah muntjacs - let's see you get past that 

Planted out early cabbage and bunching onions, plus a few sweet peas on the new fence.

Came home and refilled the cold frame with stuff from the greenhouse.  Now got room to play with more seeds 

[Mr Rotavator]

Planted out 42 shallots that had been sowed in seed trays and prepped the potato bed.

Spent a couple of hours at the plot yesterday still very wet but hopefully good weather forecast next week might dry it out.  Got the dahlias and Callas potted up and a bit of tidying done in the PT.  Off to a plant sale today.

[greenjay]

finally planted 16 charlotte potatoes and a small row of beetroot and carrots.
ground still very heavy/sticky

[Plot 1 Problems]

Put a couple of extra support beams into my polytunnel put some fine netting over my alium and carrot bed.
Lovely and warm but the ground is still pretty soggy.

[New shoot]

Sowed quite a few flower seeds at hone before I went to work, then managed to squeeze in an hour or so digging on the plot after work.

Still haven't started work on my plot yet, and the blinking rain arrived again today!!
Dry weather hopefully coming from tomorrow evening onwards.
Cheers

Juts planted last for of Spuds and some beetroot out, Also needed to water everything!! did not think I would have needed to that a week ago.

[snowdrops]

Did some clearing, then planted out 2 trays of broad beans, mulched them heavily. Hubby arrived & built me another compost bay for manure, it took him about 1 hour ,would have taken me all day. Also managed to squeeze in a bit more rubbish into the skip that I’d forgotten about.

Marvelled at this fiery, hot yellow thing in the sky.

Then got on with catching up on April's seed sowing in the tunnel. Mercifully I'd taken 4 litres of water with me to drink as it hit 42c in there even with both doors open.
Also sowed carrots, parsnips and salsifiy in their beds and a container full of Amsterdam carrots too for some early crops all being well.

Marvelled at 3 of the old boys trying to man handle a rotovator over their plots today, even though the soil is still a fraction sticky.

All in all a good day at the site and more of the same tomorrow

Had help of a friend today. We dug over and weeded one of beds.
Soil hard going as still quite wet and solid but hopefully will dry out and will be able to rotovate soon.
Have now done 2 and a half beds out of four so finally getting there.
Really lovely warm day.
Will finish tom the half done bed and the edges of others so then one left.
Also got section under black plastic over the winter which was covered in weeds and wild flowers.
Loved the wild flowers but had been overtaken by the weeds. As it is a separate small bed then am thinking of an asparagus bed.

late with everything this year so just been out to get some Tomato plants. More shopping tomorrow.

[Plot 1 Problems]

Planted out my rainbow chard & perpetual spinach plants and watered all my seedlings as the polytunnel hit 43c today.

[chillimummy]

Managed a few hours again today. Finished the edge of one of beds, full of weeds, grass, old strawberry plants and very compacted soil. Hard work and took ages to do just a small area 
At least a whole bed is ready for rotovating at the weekend.
Have a bit more to dig of the bed next to it as the end is covered with black plastic but soil underneath looks quite manageable and crumbly. Just also has the rest of the compacted soil, grass, weeds, old strawberry plants  .
Going on Saturday to collect wood chippings courtesy of Anne who advised me where to collect from so will be finishing my paths and also going to cover all around my fruit bushes which hopefully will suppress the weeds around them. H
Has taken a full year to get on top of the other half of the plot attached to mine but hoping after the weekend that it will be transformed 
Planning on getting my onions, garlic and shallots in rotovated bed and the rest of my potatoes in too.
 
 

[New shoot]

A bit more digging and soil prep at the plot.  Managed to get a new stake in for one of the hybrid berries to replace a rotted one.  I then had the simple  task of unraveling all the canes I had tied up out of the way and securing them to the new wires.

Came home and had a major sort out of all the seedlings.  The next wave of stuff for the plot should be ready next weekend with any luck
