I have parsnips in paper pots to plant out, an asparagus bed to prepare and some toms and chillis to pot up.

If i get 2 out of three done i'll be happy.

That DD, pfft, he calls himself a serious lotty man? All he does is gadabout.  :D :D :D

My plans are....riddle half a bed for me snippys, plant out sprouts and swede, prepare another bed for me posh peas thats just been made up by my lovely OH.  Pick out new docs, pick out some new docs, and dock pick.

Is riddling obligatory for beds or can you get away with just whacking the big lumps ?
