Threw my list away when I got down to the plot as my 2 flooded beds had dried up significantly so thought I would do some work on them before we got more rain. It was only digging up the stones so I could make a deeper channel around the beds so at least have some better drainage. All the stones wen...

Nice quiet day down here. Decided to go to the big supermarket to get those silly little things that we forget; well I forget anyway! Blimey haven't the prices risen? A lady & I started a conversation & she said her weekly shop is near £40 more now. She said they are blaming the world oil is...

Nice down on lottie when the sun warmed up. Did some sows into the beds I had prepped but couldn't find some of the seeds so had to do a re-order; no doubt seeds will be found behind the staging! Made a start on plot 2 & got the old cold frame cleared for this year's parsnips & carrots &...

Going to the plot tomorrow, minimum a bit low but I want to get some sows in & the netting up around these before the dog decides to help me. Hoping the brassica seeds have popped up as they have had over a week to show. Too small for mice to be interested in nicking them so they should wake up ...

Surprised myself today & finished the chores so Lottie 1 all cleared, weeded & fed, well not including the 3 beds in front of the tunnel but they are next on the list but I don't need those beds ready as they are permanent & mixed up where I got a bit soft & shoved extra's in so ever...

Supposed to be OK tomorrow with rain holding off until the afternoon so you never know I might just get Lottie 1 all sorted save some weeding at the front. I've still got covers on most of Lottie 2 so no worries there, they can stay on for now until I fully finish Lottie 1 with netting & frames ...

Looks like I might get a bright day on Tuesday to finish the chores. Horrible drizzle all weekend, certainly not rain but managed to get soaked a few times. Got a wee break on Monday so hoping to go down to my favourite shop in the hope they have their spring stuff out. The shop basically buys out t...

:) :) Not the intended pic retropants; was supposed to be a pic of my first asparagus up but the computer would not play & load any new pics. Hopefully I have sorted it but it had me cussing quite a bit. (As if I hear you say)! ;) Funny how it coincided with being updated even though I did not a...

Well the sunshine hasn't disappointed as holding for another day, or 2 days dependent on the weather report. Only this brief break though then back to the drizzle, but at least the temp has not dropped much.

Got all the planned beds weeded, fed, all spuds in etc. Sowed all the planned seeds on the staging & did a bit of a tidy up. I only focused on the club root resistant brassica's to sow as that's the main thing to get started as usually they would be in the propagator. Weather holding so will go ...

That's my job for tomorrow OH; great minds hey? OK maybe not so much my end! :) First I have to get the main crop spuds in but it's just finishing weeding their bed to do that. Then it is into the tunnel to do pretty much the same crops as your list. I have cleaned off all the staging already & ...

We had a new structure with disabled facilities installed for Mr. We had to go through the council as apparently they hold the purse for disabled facilities with the back up of the therapists to confirm the need. So therapists came around to do all the measuring up & see him manoeuvring around o...

Has everyone been busy making the most of the warmer weather? It's all gone quiet on here. Since I got the tunnel sorted, I feel a bit renewed & getting back on top of the jobs & today was perfect; lovely & warm! Did the Rhubarb beds, weeded my bit of the front fence line, put some sprin...

Plan tomorrow changed as vet has earlier appointment which I took in a blink so it's over & done with. To compensate lack of lottie visit I think I will tackle the weeds in the pavers which are sneaking up big time. Also noted some algae sneaking in so will sort that as well as you can rest assu...
