Worked on the last area to be sorted on the centenary garden , which is raised beds for fruit. We had some unpaid volunteer workers who started on the renovations on the shed for us , laying slabs to create an under cover seating area. Meanwhile OH put in fence posts on our new plot for a rabbit proof fence.S*d the housework I have a lottie to dig

Constructed cane and twine support system for broad beans - looks like a mini boxing ring.
Planted out nasturtiums in broad bean bed.
Persuaded OH to turn over the compost heaps - and found a volunteer rhubarb growing in one of them!
Sowed more shallots in modules in gh.
Proudly inspected spinach, mixed lettuce and beetroot seedlings.
Dug up the only 6 leeks that I managed to grow from last year to make room for more sugar snap pea sowing.
Put plastic bottle cloches over emerging purple podded pea seedlings to outwit the local slugs.come visit a garden

Over the weekend i have planted my 1st Early seeds spuds in pots in the greenhouse & sown a half seed tray each of: Morning Glory, Zinnia (purple prince), Coreopsis (tincture), Trifolium (rubens), Salvia (seascape mix), Aquilegia (sunshine), Basil (purple & green), Pak Choi and Spinach. Also sowed a row of Early carrots, however as we had frost this morning i am not expecting them to come to much.

Sowed sprouts, PSB, red cabbage, broccoli and basil in modules and into the blowaway
At the weekend was at the lottie and sowed parsnips and constructed some raised beds. They were very cheap and aren't very good, some split as I was banging them together. Never mind. You get what you pay for, I suppose!

Added some more bits of glas/perspex/anything I could get my hands on, to ny greenhouse. Mainly corex type stuff though as the triangular fiddly bits are hard to cut from glass. (Did I mention the ridiculous fact that Wicke's , one of the biggest hardware chains in the country,don't sell glass cutters)
One of these days I may get some proper gardening done instead of DIY!My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
