Going to get much better soon though!

Don't put the mockers on it! but I hope so

Bank holiday weekend, the weather is looking great and by some fluke I have evaded a shift at job no. 2 and have the whole 3 days off 

Just getting going and then I'm off to the plot to do some planting.  Have a good one folks, whatever your plans 

[madcat]

He's off planting french beans and I am going to sit in the sun and make onion netting ...  onion fly in the spring and then over the leeks in the auturm against the allium miner.  It is war !!!   

PS  looks like I am doing the royal wedding dress, sitting surrounded by white netting .... 

[Plot 1 Problems]

Bright sunshine and the morning to myself! Off to the plot to sow some turnips and plant out my chillies in the tunnel.

Had to retreat inside,it’s positively hot out there.been to the farmers market in the village collecting little granddaughter on the way,so we included cake at the monthly coffee morning, then a play in the park until mummy turned up as daddy & grandad were fitting the new front door. Home to find it was far too hot in the conservatory for the seedlings, so cool in there down & a good watering & the greenhouse. Time for lunch & then off out to sewing group. Steak for tea, what’s not to like.😄

Left going to plot til tea time as so hot.
Didn't waste my day though, trip for compost to garden centre and picked up supply of rabbit poo.
Had to put tomato plants outside as they were wilting in conservatory so hoping they cope in greenhouse tomorrow

It's been Growstractor weekend...

I wanted to bring some of the manure home from The Patch, so took the mower down, tied a long watering tray to the handlebars, and managed twelve bags with no effort, to drive it all back home (about half a mile)!

Got a few strange looks as well, but the stuff is well Mantissed in and needs some plants asap!

[New shoot]

Well the Growstractor must have been a sight to see 

I'm off to the plot in a bit to put up a big net tunnel for greens and possibly plant it up.  OH is booked for strimming duty later round the plot edges.

After that, some gentle pottering in the sunshine I think 

[Eblana]

Hi all up dressed, house tidied and ready to go to the plot.  I have loads of planting to do and want to get it done before it gets too warm.

[madcat]

Washing and plants out. Fast whiz to aldi for bbq veg (too early for our own!) and then outside for the rest of the day.  Oh, it is lovely to feel the sun...

[mumofstig]

It's just wonderful out there today, bright sunshine and a breeze so it doesn't feel too hot.
I've been to the allotment 3 hours, been a busy bee - plus chatted to nearly everyone. It's looking good as most people have cut their paths and started work with a vengeance.
What a difference some sun makes 
Now for a sandwich and a glass of cold cider    Maybe a potter in the garden later or just a sit in the fresh air for a change. Probably with the cat on my lap

Sun is out, Blues weren't relegated, happy times indeed

Today, I am a volunteer for the Hospice.   It is a cycle ride across the south Downs, ether 20 or 40 miles.Last year was the first time we organised it, and this year we have over 500 entries (all who are well sponsered)
I am running the water station at the finish line.
I have just got home, it was so hot, I was probably one of the most popular people there today 
I think I gave out about 1200 waters (there was 1500 beakers in the box)
It is just so emotional to see friends and families taking part coming across the finish holding hands etc.

Cuppa tea now, and a sit after my cool shower for a cool off.

My Congratulations to all who took part, and people across the country taking part in other money raising events.    Mrs Bouquet

[madcat]

Oh, what a beautiful mornin'
Oh, what a beautiful day
I've got a beautiful feelin'
Everything's goin' my way....

Ok I might be over optimistic, but it is lovely .... Blossom, flowers, birds and everything thriving.

[mumofstig]

Good work Mrs B, including you for helping out
Madcat, the sun makes me feel so much more optimistic, yes there's a list of jobs as long as my arm, but it doesn't matter how long it takes when the weather is good 

It's a garden tidy-up today - the grass is too long and there are too many weeds  but I'll enjoy the work today
