Hope there is cake and biscuits
I get carried away too but finding I'm later this yr and things haven't germinated great.
Think i will sow some flower seeds and more salads , spring onions etc. Just had a frost again this morning.

Plan for Sunday is to prepare the potato bed and plant out a few early cos salad seedlings under cover.
Mid morning coffee on the plot with allotment neighbours.
And maybe a bit more indoors sowing (marrows, courgettes, pumpkins, or is that too early? I often get carried away)

The fruit cage frame that I ordered at the weekend arrived (the old one got broken in the wind last year). This one is bigger and is intended to stay up all year, possibly with bird netting round the sides to keep the cat off that part of the garden.

Monday jobs
Attempt to regenerate some enthusiasm to go outside (too cold, dark and wet) - not really
Weeding - no
Harvest salad leaves, carrots, possibly spinach - done except spinach
I did remove a large pile of cat poo, which didn't do much for my enthusiasm!
Highly unlikely to have any opportunity to garden today as it is forecast to rain and I have a busy day anyway.Last edited by Penellype; 12-03-2024, 07:43 AM.
