Spent yesterday at my parents and started off Dad's tomatoes and planted up some strawberries.  Up at the lotty today.  Sowed some Touchstone yellow beetroot plus some of the usual red beetroot, broad beans (Aquadulce Longpod and Crimson flowered), plus peas, sutton's Harbinger and Hatif d'Annonay.

Weeded .  OH constructed a post to hang the watering hose from.

A Fantastic afternoon  :D

Planted four rows of peas
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

Work continued on new plot (38).  Marking up and prepping beds (manure or HM compost and grit adding to heavy clay).  More lasagne bed layers too on those beds.

20 large bags of manure delivered to site - really heavy.

I hope I can move tomorrow  :)

Thats the shallots/onions/garlic all in. Now to get on with the spuds but probably not until Friday! Oh and started "chitting" my parsnip seeds - a tip I was given.

today I managed to get hubby to pledge 3 hours of time to help me in the garden this weekend and from reading your posts, I am way behind in the veg planting! I did move the strawberry pots from where the removal van dumped them into a spot where they will get rain and sun. That's a start? right?

bought and planted 14 strawberry plants from wilkinsons in the garden, they are in pots along the shelf on the sunny fence, more will go in when the seeds I have sown come up and get big enough to plant.
