I don't know about you guys but, as my memory is a little lacking, at the end of everyday I write a list of all the things I need to do, in the garden the next day. I also add to the list during the day if something catches my eye that needs doing.
The thing is, the lists are NEVER really over long but there is always a few items left which then need to be added onto the following days' list because everything takes so much longer than anticipated. Mind you it doesn't help that I have to look after the house and feed my family as well (inconsiderate of them if you ask me ).
This morning, for example, I've tubbed up and/or planted out 6 runners and 6 french beans, with the help of my 3 yr old which has taken 1.5 hrs BUT is only 1 thing on my list of 10 jobs to do .
Now the munchkin wants lunch (the cheek of it) and after lunch I really do need to clean the house. I thought I'd get at least half the list done this morning, clean this afternoon and then do some more this evening .
Another glorious garden opportunity wasted .
