Put in the last two rows of spuds, planted out four rows of onion seedlings (Bedford Champions) and sowed three rows of carrots, plus nearly finished the new rhubarb bed.

Absolutely nothing for me (though hubby moved more soil from garden to plot) all my plans were disrupted when I got on the wrong train home and ended up in Winchester instead of Basingstoke and then had to wait to come back again :-(

Rotovated over my plot again this evening, nearly time to get some stuff in..................... at long last.  It was a lovely night here, so thought I would take the opportunity between the showers. :)

Repotted at home till I ran out of bigger pots, and started sowing more squash, beans and other bits and bobs. I'm out of compost up here now, and there's no way I'm going out in this weather to the garage to get more!

Took 2 chillies in to work for our 'allotment windowsill'.

I can email them over, we have just finished ours  ::) shhhhh we have sun now, still a few funny looking clouds but the heating is off, two small windows open and a few bits of washing out. At last I am sick of the wet stuff. I am happy to hose all summer long so someone else have it  :wacko:

shot down to do some quick weeding, got 2 1/3 of the pea and bean beds weeded, dug out a couple of strawberry plants, then got soaked, got home and the strawberries went straight into the bed under the front window.

Finally got up to the plot last night.  Watered all the dahalia's and seedlings in the PT and refilled the tank for the capilliary matting.  Weeded the onions and garlic.  Flowers out on the early peas and on the broad beans.  I am away for the weekend so I won't get up to the plot but I have booked Monday and Tuesday off work so I will get lots done on those two days before I head off to the Chelsea Flower Show  :D :D :D :D :D

weeded my beans (3 beds) then started on the strawberry / raspberry beds, came home planted more strawberries in the front garden, thats half the bed planted at 6" spacing, and still barely touched the strawberries on the plot.
