Too near The City and The Airport here for anything as exotic as swallows and cuckoos sadly!

Two swallows have moved into our garage this week. While I moved out of the greenhouse last evening when the heavy rain started to include thunder and lightning, doesn't seem sensible to stay in an aluminium structure.

Planted out purple sprouting broccolli plants this morning and sowed a couple of rows of carrots this evening. Yesterday I drove across the moors to pickup the compost I ordered and even that had gone up in price. If food prices also keep inflating, as they have been forecast to, vegetable gardening may become a profitable necessity.

My brain is officially addled! Went to pay my plot invoices yesterday & a total disaster with my computer not accepting them. A nice guy there had them all filled in & listed but despite both of us checking & tweeking we only managed to only get one to go through. The others looked like they were going in the system but just disappeared. Checked the bank but nothing untoward there just the single one going out so goodness knows what is wrong with the others.
It will be the good old cheque to pay for the last 3 whether they are happy or not, not wasting any more time now or in the future! They can sort out the invoice & plot numbers numbers when they get the cheque!

I've just deep dug another strip across the back garden...a half lost bit towards the house end of the vegetable area....it missed out on my attentions at Christmas time, hence making for a slow progress sowing of my Radeo peas. Deep digging was required to turn in some 'rubbish' on the top.!
Next is to shell the pea seed, sat in a bag since collection in 2023..
Meanwhile 5 more stocky little leeks are part of lunch menu with stewed rhubarb as pud'.

I'm a bit over excited as both phone & TV weather are saying sunshine for over a week! Temps aren't grand but liking the cheery little sun on most days. Works out well as just decided today I will be going down 3 days a week instead of just two for a bit.
I don't normally go down that often as Mr always gets himself in muddle in my absence but his sight is so poor with his cataracts now he can't go out side the house so problem solved! His op is just 4 weeks away now (he got bumped up as sight deteriorated more), so I am taking the opportunity to get as much done as possible before he is back supervising!
