Put my French beans out, made the classic cane frame all lashed together very expertly with my 50 year old boy scout skills. Also planted out leeks and some more beetroot.  Sowed second lot of dwarf beans and basil.  Gave away spare chard and kale plants.

One of my friends gave me some of her honey in exchange.  That will be turned into mead

I've filled the greenhouse with 10 toms, 2 cucs, 5 aubergine and 5 peppers. Was tempted to plant out sweetcorn, courgettes and runner beans but it was bucketing it down, so I decided against it

Re-felted the shed on our first plot, cut the paths and have started to harden of the first of the Sprouts!

Started with a spot of weeding followed by planting out some peas, lettuce and caulis.
Planted some seeds - Radish, Cress, Rocket and finished with an hour battling the couch grass in one of my not quite in use beds!
Please be patient! Learner gardener - allow plenty of room when passing!

So far.... very little  :mellow:

Still very little nothing on the plot but I did manage to trim two jasmine hedges and prune a massive nectarine down to 8'. Piled all the trimmings (small branches too) onto the cycle trailer to take home and shred.

All shredded ready to use as a mulch or add to the compost heap.
Swept-up, packed away and tidy so a good afternoon.  :happy:

Although I didn't make it to the plot.

Moved the shed, finally!  That left the last untamed corner of the plot ready to be converted into a wildlife garden.  Spend most of the day clearing couch grass and nettles.  It tried to rain a couple of times but everything is still bone dry.  Got given a set of shelves for my newly positioned shed.

Finally got the last of the spuds in - which took 2 hours due to bindweed removal  :mad:
Did a bit of weeding & watering
Tidied out the raised bed ready for the cabbages and caulis to go into in the next couple of weeks.
Tied in some raspberry canes onto their supports
Happy, hippy mama with a love of baking, gardening and cake decorating
