More digging. Then it started to rain. Will pot on a few more tomatoes later.

On the way home from work I went to my wifes boss's home and planted, a tad late I know, 300 mixed narcicus and a big bag full of crocus and tulips.

At home, the greenhouse was watered, some peas were sown in pots, some mesclun sown in trays and several pots of flower seeds sown.

(technically what I did at the weekend, but was too tired to post about then)

-re-edged about 2/3 of my lawn (increasing the veg borders, I won't miss those 3 inches of lawn lol)
-planted 2 pears (conference and beugh hardy), 1 fantasia nectarine, 1 victoria plum and 1 stella cherry tree in big pots
-planted 4 rose bushes, 2 front and 2 back garden
-dug over beside my shed and planted 2 each of blackcurrent, redcurrant + green gooseberry, repotting disturbed bulbs from there.
-drilled holes in 5/10 of my containers needing them
-pruned the wild (currently non-flowering) rose and mallow bush at front
-repotted all my sowings from this and last month, so they're in nice window propagators for more light

I've had a lovely and very productive day today I completely finished glazing the greenhouse so I can start using it tomorrow

I also got a phone call telling me that the allotment project that I belong to has been shortlisted in the Regional Green Awards and I've been asked to represent the committee at a "do" in London next month I'm well pleased with my day

just got e-mail back from the council after asking for permission to errect the shed I collected yesterday & was told no sheds are allowed on site.this surprises me as there is already one shed & what can only be described as a converted greenhouse,black bitumen panels on 3 sides!

Yesterday i actually got some gardening done!!

Planted out 26 garlic plants into the veg patch which have been in modules since end of September, got about another 15 to go out but they were planted a bit later so are still quite small. Planted 3 more Autumn Bliss raspberry canes & raked B&Q Soil improver over the bed as a mulch. Finally got around to planting up my vacant new flower bed which was dug at the end of last summer. In the greenhouse i noticed that some of my Sweetpea seeds are starting to make an appearence after quite a number of weeks, i was starting to lose hope. Quite a productive 3 hours. Still haven't managed to get any veg seeds sown so need to get them done - today hopefully!

Mown the lawn, planted some onion sets and dug over some more of the plot.
Not much but I got a sweat on, and I'm pleased.

Is your lawn growing already?Our one still looks "wintery" although I can see plenty of little hills(worms).

I converted another piece of lawn into growing space so I have 2nd bed for climbing french's ready.The big dalek is nearly empty,there's just a small compost bin left.

I'll have to do some wash up to clean my hands though

Slightly tired but happy-a few hours well spent-outside,not stuck in the car or the building
