I had 2 small helpers today and we planted out the butternuts and Queensland Blues, noticed we are getting our first courgettes  8), watered everything, fed the leeks.  After helping for a little while, the boys sat up the old apple tree and watched the trains go by.

Yesterday I finally planted out the sweetcorn (intercropped with lettuce), tomatos (Nova, gardeners delight and Red Zebras) fingers crossed they dont get blight this year! chilli plants and the last of the dwarf beans (intercropped with the cucumbers as I didnt have space for them anywhere else).
Hoed the paths acidently sliced up a courgette
cursed the birds for breaking more currant branches grrr!

Today...re-positioned cane wig-wams and planted runner and climbing french beans, planted out some lollo rosso that were started in modules, sowed three more rows of beetroot, tied in toms to there strings (noticed i`ve took the top off one thinking it was a side shoot :(), spotted my first couple of courgettes, weeded and finally admitted to myself that the strawberry "fence" id made from pallets laced with soaker hose aint gonna work (on site water pressure too low)... back to the drawing board with that one then.
. . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . . .

Managed to get the tatties earthed up & sprayed with Epsom salts. Also sprayed the toms in the greenhouse with Epsom salts and gave them a feed. Pulled up a few weeds, and started cutting the grass hopefully I'll get it finished when the wee ones in bed!
Noticed that my onions that were planted last autumn are starting to fall over ( great I need the bed for swede!), my summer rasps are forming fruit and the autumn rasps are showing flower buds! :D

Not at the plot, but for the plot...spent all day breaking pallets for the deck I`m putting in front of the shed.

Harvested my first bumper crop of strawberries, a huge pot full. In previous years I've not done too well with them, nor really tired that hard to be honest, but this year I gave the bed a good manuring in spring and thinned out the plants.

Well chuffed.

Weeded around raspberries. Dug up lots of thistles  ;)
Sowed two rows of sugar snap peas next to the two rows already there.
Weeded onions. Planted donated red cabbage Lodero, given 13 of them and a few savoy cabbage. Netted and watered.
Also given 5 each of Zen and Endeavor broccoli and a few sprout plants.
Will plant them at the weekend. Need to patch my remaining net and find something to use as frame.
Will sow more beetroot and spinach at weekend to fill any gaps.
Have chitted parsnips to sow and will take chance and plant sweetcorn.
Running out of space  ;)
Have lots of celery at home to squeeze in somewhere 
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
