I opened and closed my cold frames and daydreamed of planting out my broad beans and onions. It's raining again...

Raining here all day, so didn't make it to the plot despite loads to do  :(

Watered under the cloches, put chicken netting over the peas that the cat has decided to dig up.

Cleared the last of the beetroot and leeks from the bed the potatoes are due to go in.
Repotted 15 lettuce plugs in trusty poundland cat litter trays and sowed a tray of leeks.

I have grown little gem in the greenhouse over winter. Radishes also growing nicely next to them and spring onions now showing through. :D

Ditto yesterday: opened and closed cold frames due to heavy rain. Now starting to get a bit bored of wet weather. If only we could swap a few wet days like this in spring for the odd rainy day in the summer...

Realised I had more chatted spuds than space in bed so "reclaimed" another bed to handle the excess.
Digging the two hours must have done me good!
Now waiting for it to warm up so I can plant them

HH
Keep digging

Been confined to barracks for what seems like ages as have the dreaded flu. Managed to get potatoes in before the snotty nose and hot sweats started but desperate to get outside and have a walk round the plots.
Peas sown in guttering have germinated well and need hardening off before going into the ground and have cauliflower and cabbage waiting in the cold frame. Feeling like a caged animal.  >:(
I have my own cement mixer and not afraid to use it!!
