Door on  new shed
Had a chat to my new neighbours (who asked for the stack of flags we have on one of the beds....will have to keep an eye on these lot!  ::))
Watered and watered more.

A quick nip to the plot with weed-killer for that stubborn patch where the old compost heap once stood....but the breeze decided the couch grass could stay a little longer. (I don't want to upset my neighbours with drifting weed-killer!)

Watered and evaporated left.

Transplanted chillis, sweet peppers and toms into bigger pots. Watered and admired all my little seedings.  :)

Yesterday I transplanted all my onion seedlings,some garlic that I had forgotten about & broad beans. I dug out a load of couch grass from along the side with the grass path hoed the winter onions & garlic & hoed the bed where the brassica's will go.Had a few cups of tea,but nobody to chat to really only the woman that never stops if she starts so I avoided her :tongue2:
A woman's place is in her garden.

Potted on leeks.  10 to a nine inch pot.  To go in when the newpers are out.  Chitted runners (polestar).  Watered around.  Glad we are in for a bit of wet this weekend.

Planted out Calabrese, and summer cabbage. Took a cut of comfrey, put it bin to make comfrey extract. Gave some support to carnations.
I used to work in a helium gas factory, but I walked out, no one talks to me like that.

Watered my peas which are about 3inches high, resowed the 10 that havent germinated out of  354 so quite happy with them.
Weeded my strawberrys and gave them a feed of my comfrey tea as i have loads of the stuff , got carryed away making it this yr  :D
And while i was working gave a lot of thought to starting the sweetcorn chitting, a week or so longer yet i think.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Potted on my aubergines for the last time.  They will be out against a south facing wall at the end of May. Pricked out a batch of lettuce (Little Gem)

Did very little again.... just not enough time.  :(

Earthed up the potatoes yet again - I really don't like foxes! Why can't the cubs play on someone elses plot for a change? Just because mine has lovely fine soil.

High point of the visit:- Discovered my 2 rows of carrots are through  :happy: and the beetroot is romping away.
