5 Minutes to create a mobile salad garden

Last year a supermarket trolley was abandoned outside the house, about 3 miles from the nearest supermarket Its still here so I've adopted it!

5 minutes to put a growbag in the basket, cut it open, plant it with lettuce seedlings and sprinkle mixed salad seeds over it!
Wheel trolley into sheltered corner near kitchen door ready for those summer salads

My 5 minute job today was pulling weeds from the stone bank while pretending to be a dragon getting caught in traps set by small child on the top of said bank

[Snoop Puss]

I had a very profitable five minutes:
Telling Mr Snoop where to put my pea netting, what to use to do it, how long it had to be. In fact all the instructions needed for him to do it.

No sooner said than done wouldn't be entirely accurate. But it is done!

Another 5 minute job completed!
Cut back the lemon grass - took off all the dead leaves - and now its green again.
I've been walking past it for weeks, saying "I must do that" and now I have.

Yep - until the last frost is gone. Then it goes out (from bigger pots) into the space left by the first earlies.

Mixing a barrow of potting compost, 5 mins (3 forks rotted manure, 4 forks garden compost, 3 forks leafmould)

Potting up 33 strawberry runners, 5 mins, though to be fair there were 2 of us.
