Staked up the tomatoes in the greenhouse (they're getting very top-heavy with foliage and flowers :) ), general pottering about - pulling weeds where they were found and topped up the water butts whilst it was quiet.

Everything appears to be in the rudest of health. Happy days :)

Loads of weeding, planted some leeks out and sowed another row of carrots and lettuce.

Potted on another 6 tomatoes into final pots, that makes 20 large plants in pots and 15 smaller planted out in lotty, should now have enough to make pasta sauce to take us through the year again, just hope the peppers perform this year again.

I pulled up weeds (never ending job) and watered everything.  None of my carrots and parsnips have taken, i planted them 6 weeks ago.  So I have to re-do it all tomorrow.  I have put my French Beans in today as well.

The ground is just too dry for anything to grow no matter how much I water it.  I need it to rain, but I don't see that happening.

Prepared compost for hanging baskets that some of the 60 tomato plants will end up living in.  Emptied beehive composter into new darlek.  General tidy of patch, chopped off old leaves etc.  Picked 2 strawberries that the snails have been kind enough to leave us today  Watered and weeded.  Put tomatoes into playhouse for the night to begin hardening off.  
Counted 15 courgettes so far on plants, sooo want to pick them.

Cape Gooseberries were also transplanted.

ah that was me last week- weeded half the remaining weeds this morning while watering with a directional spray and just finished as the rain started - typical.

Watered a few things, did dome weeding and cut half of the grass, the rest can wait for tomorrow as cricked my neck down there and in pain
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength
