Yesterday-Friday, no Grandchild as away on holiday so had the whole afternoon; dug out the deep rooted weeds and cut away the mares tail in the new gooseberry bed, set up the bed frame and watered the two pots before planting them. Also pulled up a few brambles that had started to grow in the paths. Had a good look at the new asparagus beds, all but two of the crowns have spears starting to go to fern, by the mid afternoon the other two were showing above the soil and I decided to pull the remaining soil around them as mentioned in the instruction leaflet. Had bought a little gas burner and set it up for a good bit of tea making after a wee wander to the local store for some milk. Watered everything as the day had cooled a bit, pumpkin, brassicas, corn, asparagus, carrots, beans and new gooseberries all settling in well.
Today-Saturday, decided to sort the shed out a bit as bags everywhere and very little hanging up places. Took a selection of hooks, nails and screwdrivers with me. Put the kettle on as arrived and surveyed the plot, not looking too bad for 7 weeks and the sun sure does help. Had been given an old pedestal sink when my neighbours had a new bathroom; and as tea making leads on to washing up I set it up against the side of the shed and screwed it to the strongest part of the wall below the shed window. Leads on to an awning at some point in the future... Gave it a good clean and found an old pop bottle for a drain catch and a piece of hose to connect to the tap, couldn't find the metal hose connector I thought I had, must still be at home. Went back to shed tidying, screwed a couple of rows of hooks and found homes for hats, gloves, tools and even put batteries in a led light. Days getting on so took out the weeding fork to clear another bed, mostly cleared and then the heavens opened, retreated to the shed. Looked at the time, oh! best go & make some tea. Another satisfying day.
