Planted out four feet tall runner beans that were sown in nine large pots on 31st March. Goodness knows what the people in vehicles behind were thinking as I was driving to the plot with a car load of triffids!
I`m left handed, what`s your excuse?

Limed 6 beds and dug them over, then painted shading on some of the greenhouse

Sown 2, * 5" pots with radish, and 2, * 5" pots with spring onions, Topped all 9 water butts up, and watered allotment for two hours while horse pipe was out. Planted out 8 wax beans. and then had a fire to burn a little rubbish.
I used to work in a helium gas factory, but I walked out, no one talks to me like that.

Make the best of the peace and quiet at this time of day.... no one around to call for you or ask you to do something. Time for yourself.  :happy:

Sorry to hear you've not been feeling too good. If you can't sleep try picking up the last book you put down unfinished. Always works for me!  ;)

Started off Beetroot, Parsnips, Carrots, Onions, Leeks, Spinach, Cauliflower, Turnip, Swede, Lettuce, cabbage & Courgette all in seed trays at home.

Potted on my second sowing of tomatoes (Maybe over done it as I have 38 plants in total!
I did get rid of some of the weaker seedlings (It hurt though  :( )
Thinned an earlier sowing of carrots, earthed up my spuds growing at home in buckets, sowed some flowers in my front garden (now the tulips have all finished) and finally did a bit of watering!

Bit of an epic session really but I'm all caught up now. I think I've left it a little late sowing some bits but nothing lost apart from a handful of seeds.
Please be patient! Learner gardener - allow plenty of room when passing!

Potted gherkin & cucumber plants into larger pots. Watered the raised beds and the greenhouse. Planted some freesia bulbs in pots. Then picked some salad leaves, a few radishes and giant spring onions - may have left the over wintered spring onions in the ground a little too long.

Spent a wonderfull couple of hours down at the allotment with my two grandsons, where we performed the annual ritual of planting out three pumkins for our (one for each of us) where the three of us enter the cut throat buisness of the biggest pumkin competition. We all sportingly shook hands before each pumkin was planted, niceties over may battle commence.  :D :D :D

Just a quick half hour visit.

Took the fleece off the strawberries. Quite a few fruit forming. Harvested a bag of rhubarb. Fed potatoes and peas with diluted bokashi liquid and dug the bokashi bucket contents into a bed. Hoed between strawberries.
