Weeded, left plants out to harden off, watered, moved plants around onto 1 staging, moved other staging out!

Yesterday planted up pumpkin and squash beds and erected bamboo cane type-thingy to try to stop the foxes digging the plants up. Wrapped a bit of fleece round the structure to keep off the wind over the next few days so the plants would have a chance to get established. Planted put a couple of courgette plants just to finish things off.
Fruit / pumpkin / squash / courgette plot looking ok. Need to catch up with elusive plot holder with the end half of the plot as the weeds are hooooooge and setting seed already. Don't fancy having to spend ages weeding those out!!
I have my own cement mixer and not afraid to use it!!

Planted out the French beans (dwarf and climbing) with my young helper (hence the beans are green, purple and yellow ;)). Started to harden off the courgettes as they are getting flower buds  :ohmy: and I haven't prepared their bed yet  ::).

Planted out dwarf French beans and a few runner beans that seem to be mixed up with the French beans??
Admired module grown beetroot (first time I've done it this way) as they are now the size of a golfball. Picked a few strawbs and checked on first earliest that have nearly all flowered. couldnt resist  a furtle around and came away with some lovely new potatoes for dinner tonight. ☺️

Finally weeded the onions sets planted this Spring, then weeded a few other beds but didn't have time to tackle the new raspberry bed.  Then picked a good box full of strawberries, enough for 2, and pulled the very first carrots of the year, grown from seed sown straight into the ground in mid March. Little finger size and very straight.  So pleased :)

Dug out a new section of bed but had to stop when it got too wet - lots of rain this morning and I'm expanding into the waterlogged end of the plot as well. So I weeded the beds instead, then pulled out some leeks which were going to seed and had a furtle for new potatoes.  Dinner tonight included leeks sliced in half and braised in butter and we shared six tiny Lady Christls - the first of the year.  Heaven!

Dug over and weeded the bed for the courgettes/pumpkins to go in next weekend. Potted on the tomatoes into their big final pots and the chillis as well.

Transferred Toms from small greenhouse at home, into grow bags and pots at plot, strung them to greenhouse roof (bit optimistic greenhouse is 8` high). Planted a couple of 30 litre buckets with sarpo mira...run out of compost for the other 2 tubs. thinned out perpetual spinach and chard...sowed another 2 rows of each. Went on a mares tail pulling session in the spud bed (noticed my earlies, seconds and main crop have all started to flower). Finally sorted a decent frame for the enviro-mesh on the carrot bed (used 8` canes and those rubber connector thingie`s). Got home sowed some b/nut squash and potted on the Bolivian rainbow chillie`s...noticed slug/snail damage to a Trinidad scorpion...moved the super-hots onto higher staging. Knackered.
. . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . . .

Thursday I weeded between the onions and shallots, hoed the gaps between beds and strimedd the grass. Dug out more fartachokes. Planted out some psb someone gave me, think these will need moving later in the year. Planted some lettuce in gaps between the squashes.

Earthed up the potatoes!
That's it really, radishes, spinach and lettuce nearly ready to be harvested.
Cheers
