Out Saturday for a very rare trundle round the country-side....

Sunday is the day for the plot - sunshine all the way!  :)

Just a few jobs to do before I can escape with a seed packet in my hand  ;)

Not reached the plot yet and its late afternoon already...... :(

But I have spent ages in the greenhouse pricking-out and sowing more seeds.... and the allotment would have been full of people (and chat) so I wouldn't have got much doen today.... Try again tomorrow  :)

At least the grass is cut, the washing sorted and the kitchen cleared (23 yr old son & girl friend cooking - shame about the clearing up!) ...now to visit my parents.
Never keep your wish-bone where your back-bone ought to be.

Just done all the jobs I'd forgotten about and not planned for - peas in pots at home to get them shooting away - outside unless a frost is due when they will come in.

This weekend I have been at work and only just got home.  The house is a mess but the garden is lovely. ::) 

Easter weekend I plan to finish clearing out all the brambles and the tree stump.  There is so much to do before I can even start thinking about sowing veg.  I have a fair few scatter flower seeds for the bed.

I got my onion sets in and sowed more peas under plastic, doing wanado and onward, the wanado are already up. Put in some strawberrys that I got off the nice people on the next plot and talked to the lady oposite. Did loads of digging out couch grass roots and now when I shut my eyes I can see roots against a dark background. ???

Began preparing for where I'll put my new mini poly tunnel for the tomatos but gave up, too tired, hope to do some more during the week after work.

I didn't have a job list, I kind of make it up as I go along.
first there is a mountain then there is no mountain then there is

I think making up as you go along is by far the best idea..... relaxing that way!  ;)
