Dug beds for and planted 300 onion sets. Same to do again but they will have to wait until post-Mother's Day.

One is slightly sunburnt.

Finally managed to plant my dwarf Medlar, Qunice, Gage, Cherry and Pear trees into their final positions and then spent a lovely, warm and happy afternoon mulching my fruit bushes, tending to the kiwi vines who are bursting into life, chatting with my plot neighbours and watching the bees do their business with my Blueberry plants  :D

On Sunday I should have been digging and rotovating but it was good to relax for once instead.

Off to buy gear oil tomorrow and then to the plot to see if 'Howard' is still willing to do a spot of work for me again this year.

   I do love that old machine.  ;)

Harvested the last couple of cabbages and dug over the bed. Put together a new blow-away greenhouse on the balcony and tidied up the pots on the balcony ready to do some sowing this week

Not at the plot but in the garden. Finished clearing the greenhouse of the last few tomato & cucumber pots.( plants went last  year). Then jet washed it, scrubbed it & re jet washed it & the slabs around it. Since by now I was some what wet & grubby I made a start on washing some of the 100s & 100s of mucky plant pots.
A woman's place is in her garden.
