I use a decent weed suppressant fabric for my paths, held down at the edges by bricks (though you do trip over them occasionally!).

I tried to dig over a weedy area......but the frost defeated me, the further back I worked, the harder the ground became.  So.........I had a cup of coffee and a Snickers bar while I listened to the birds singing...tipped out my compost bin, chopped up the stuff in there that was too big (I should NOT have put it in), mixed it all up and shovelled it back in....pulled dead bindweed creepers off the fence....cleared myself a parking space....litter picked....and put two barrow loads of junk into the skip...oh and sulked because it is STILL to cold to plant anything - darn it!!

i double dug and sieved to a quarter inch, 18 square feet of soil for my carrots... hope it's worth it my back is broke!! never had much luck in the past they always come up bendy

Over the weekend:

Sowed a reserve batch of leeks. If the first lot are ok I'll pass the reserves on to a friend.

Installed a 1000l water tank. Did have two but some bu88er stole one. Friendly house owner next to my plot let me fill it with his hose (bartered for some veggies later in the season). I'd like to see the bu88ers lift this one.

Weeded round the garlic.

Seived more compost.

First seedlings are emerging under the cloches, ok its only radish but its a start.

Garden still frosted can't get fork in!  Still have some Christmas parsnips to harvest. Still hard nighttime frosts forcast here this week. Stay in the warm till next week hopefully.

I realised how out of shape I have gotten when I had to fill and cart a few barrow loads of manure

I was stood next to a 6o+ year old bloke who looked like he could run a marathon after a full day of doing that with one hand tied behind his back.

Im now quite 

[Mahogony]

Wasn't able to plant anything today as I was at a conference all day but got time to sneek out at lunch and pick up my grow bags and a new walk in poly green house. Can't wait to put it together and fill it up. Missed all the lovely weather being stuck inside all day.

Hurrah, a nice weekend at last.  The soil was finally diggable, so I did some tidying, got my first earlies started and planted about 150 onion sets.  I am also now the proud owner of the first blister of the year.    At home I made mini newspaper pots and sowed cabbages, summer PSB, sprouts, leeks and courgettes which I'm starting on the windowsill.  I'm trying small successional sowings this year, so I'll see how that works out.  Next weekend, if it stays nice, I'll be sowing my first beetroot and carrot seeds.

i dug another couple of beds, put some raspberry canes in and started to weed round my asparagus crowns. It was a gloriously sunny weekend in Llandudno. Heavy frost again this morning glad i wasn't tempted to plant my early spuds.

[Sweet Pea 2]

I tidied up the weeds on the outside of my rabbit fencing.  Weeded around the raspberries and mulched the raspberry area with manure in the hope of suppressing weeds.  Got rid of the cabbages which had gone rotten.  Put some clear plastic sheeting in the hope of warming the soil on one bed.  Admired the neighbours new shed.  And pulled up three Swedes. Anyone know how long these will last in the ground now?  The foliage is dead.

sweet pea 2 - which site you on then? You can't be too far from moi - I'm on the College Rd site in Cippenham.

Just popped outside in my lunch hour - HOW GORGEOUS is it out there? And I have to be in an office. 

[Sweet Pea 2]

The Myrke, just off the Road down to Datchet (by Upton Court Park).  This was Saturdays work.  I am sitting in the office today looking longfully out of the window.

[plum crumble]

  I know - let me out!!!!

[Brian Green fingers]

I've literally just put in my red onion sets and sown my leek seeds into modules. I did the Garlic last week. Fingers crossed

[Yabba]

Just spent a knackering day ripping out the partition between two of our greenhouses. Unfortunately it's because we're gonna be replacing it for a wall and one of the greenhouse will become a stock room
