Attacked the bindweed growing with the potatos and strawberries...  Weeded between the onions and dug out a few of last years potatos that are growing

Had to pick loads of small apples from the 2 2 year old trees as they had loads and all the branches are bending down.. left a couple though and happy to see how many they had!

Dug loads of nice compost into a bed and will plant some of the leeks out next week.

Got soaked so went home and sorted out some of the chillies and tomatos.. quite happy to see the rain all day! :)

I think I may have to thin the fruit on my plum trees too. My dwarf plum tree is getting "dwarfer" under the weight of little plums.  ::)

"Got soaked"!!!!! Only just enough rain here to dust off my rain-coat.  :(

I weeded out my fruit cage.  First I pulled up all the big stuff, the I barricaded off the gooseberries leaving the raspberries on their own.  Then I shut my 5 chickens in there.  They did a good job.  Well done girls.  I wont be doing that in a months time though!

lots of weeding...isnt it nice (almost) when we've had a lot of rain they just seem to glide out! i also cut up a load of blue water pipe and made hoops for my debris netting for my brassicas, and planted out some lettuce and my pumpkins, and chopped  the horseradish a little, although it's been in about 10 yrs and over the years been v well behaved bless it! :D

Sorted greenhouse out and put stuff in cold frame, to make room for toms and cucumbers.
Weeded beds, put some webb lettuce in and sowed some more radish. Just come home for some food then I will be going back to water plot  ;)

It is amazing what a bit of rain does :ohmy: :ohmy: There suddenly seemed to be weeds everywhere, hence I spent 1/2 hour hoeing and watered the greenhouse.

Weeded the brassicas and pulled out my first unsuccessful batch of peas which have been mostly eaten by the pigeons and put another lot under sticks and twine.  Picked my first strawberries and raspberries.  They're unbeliveably better than the supermarket ones.   :D  I also have a blackcurrant bush starting but the fruit is sparse and rather unpleasant tasting so may be for the chop this year.

For once didn't need to water, hurrah.    8)

A very quick zip there and back:
  • put in more canes and planted French climbing beans (purple podded)
  • watered
  • planted out the last box of chrysanthemums
  • hoed a little

Then cycled off at top speed as my 90 minutes was up.  :(
