picked the 2nd half of the sugarsnap peas and cleared the leaves to the dalek :)
nearly 8 lb of ready to freeze (topped and tailed, sliced through and blanched) sugar snaps :)
Now all the pumpkins can be planted, as they've been trying to escape from their pots for a while now :lol:

what a lovely day I had yesterday - did too  many things to mention (ooeerrr missus!),  :wacko: but I told myself I must take camera down and take some piccies. Now I'm back from th'office, I shall get down there and take some piccies (in between watering and weeding - crickey, ain't it DRY???) ::)
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

Watering, watering and more watering  :lol: :lol:

Also thinned the carrots (yummy), picked the first two courgettes of the year, half a pound of mange tout, and pulled some lettuce to give to friends.

Am liking this a lot  :D :D :D :D

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol: at Vet! It's a close call! He really doesn't get the watering thing - he said he had watered the onions for me the other  day - that's 200 of them, plus 60 shallots and 40 garlics - he used 2 watering cans. I had to laugh!  :nowink: I gently explained you would need at least 20 cans..................... OH not impressed!

I have a super OH- he is the king of watering- which is good when I am away so much!
Been and wandered around the garden tonight- ate some lettuce, basil, rocket and more pea shoots (yum)
The horseradish has finally appeared above ground level which is good as it was a bit late being planted, and was just a chunk off root from local farm shop, thrown into a bed with a dollop of manure!

Sweet peas finally growing a bit- think they were embarrassed after dwarf broad beans overtook them!

Everyone looking good- will be nice to see them all again on Friday when I get home again!
Very often quite lost- would be more lost if I could work out where I was!- But always find my way home.....

Planted some more pea and french bean seeds, watered a bit, dug up some 2nd early spuds - Marfona, picked more strawberries (such a chore having to eat a punnet every 2 days!) and weeded the onions.

I weeded and watered while other half continued to sieve the second bed... was hoping he'd have it finished by the weekend so I can plant some more, but not convinced.. it's been a slow start to the week!

Watered, watered and yet more water! Been a basking hot day today and the veggies seem to love it! Also snaffled a scaffolding plank from my kind builder neighbour (has warped a bit but is fab for our walkway) and bought lots more compost!
