I managed a quick couple of hours after work.

Weeded Strawberry and Blueberry beds.

Potted on Courgettes and rescued sunflowers that I had forgotten to water in the cold frame that we're looking very sorry for themselves.

Dug over and raked the final bed, netted the strawberries and planted some summer bulbs in the pots on the balcony

Sowed sweetcorn in pots, some in propagator and some on windowsill (only really have one of each).  Was going to put this up plot under pop bottles but chickened out.  Pricked out some celeriac and then spent rest of afternoon making bee house which turned out too heavy, and needing full sun, to put up the plot in the end!

My son planted the oca while I trenched manure, put the sweetcorn to chit and the berloti beans.

Lots of hoeing too, I love my Jalo hoe.
