Not on the plot, but at home-

-potted on all tomatoes

-sowed chives and 3 kinds of basil

-sowed a tray of peas for pea shoots.

-sowed chilli 'Cilegia' which is supposed to be early but might have left it a bit late for a crop.

Not on the plot but at my parents place:

Completed clearing and planting summer bedding along their drive then stood back in the garage and watched the rain fall for a full 20 minutes.  :happy:

Went to both plots, only left them alone for a week away and OMG the weeds, looks like a busy weekend ahead.

A quick bit of weeding, tried to fix the hedge where the fox comes through with some branches woven through the bushes. Probably pointless, but I tried :nowink:
Picked most of the snap peas for freezing.
Fixed the greenhouse window and the auto opener after the wind blew it out.
Potted on some Shirley toms, it's not quite warm enough at night to put them out, and they were getting potbound.
Tied up all the toms in the greenhouses and nipped out the sideshoots.

Not on the plot (again.... almost forget where it is!  :blink:) but... planted up the remainder of my parents front garden with:
  • pelargoniums (geraniums) all red
  • dwarf marigolds (mixed)
  • red salvia
  • ageratum (blue 18")
  • lobelia (fountains)
  • petunias (mixed colours

I just hope I have the final heights right in my mind or it will be an interestingly different display.  :lol:
