Watered broad beans and things in pots.  Need to take the hose up to the plot as I am now on 30+ watering cans for a thorough plot soaking.

Thinned and transplanted Cos and Little Gem lettuces, dug up enough Rocket spuds to make enough space for my leeks, which are now dibbed and watered in (how is it that when you count them in the tray there are 'X' plants which you then make sufficient room for, but when you tip them out there are 'X x 1.5' ?  ::)  :lol:)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Hubby is watering and weeding as normal. I think he needed an escape after walking in after a serious play date which meant my garden looked like a beach. LOL hey hoe the kids have never had so much fun.  :lol:

Watered beans,sweet corn,beetroot & chard plantings.

Planted out some dwarf french beans (purple queen), watered and fed the squashes and tomatoes.  Tied in various wandering stems.
Picked strawberries, pulled winter onions, picked sweet peas.

Cut the tops off my remaining first and second earlies.   The blight had spread despite spraying.   Thankfully maincrop appear to be unaffected so far.  Weeded.  Watered.  Picked onions, garlic, shallots and strawberries.   

OH did more work on new raised bed.

Had very productive few hours on plot. Planted sweetcorn and built little wall around them all for shelter out of plastic panels. Looks good!
OH finally managed to dig tree up after 3rd visit! Left very big hole which took long time to dig over area and rake level. Plot looks so much better as tree was covered in brambles, grass, weeds and looked mess, Also stopped me planting near it too so space limited.
