  • Thursday jobs
    Check for wind damage and batten down hatches - done
    General tidy up - done some
    Sow microgreens, spinach - done
    Harvest microgreens, carrots - done

    There is no way I am gardening today, but if the wind has died down in time (unlikely) I will check the allotment this evening in case the hotbed cover has blown off.

        At allotment
        Clear up bits of tree debris - no
        Check tree tie on cherry - done
        Weeding - done a little

        At home
        Clear up debris from wind - no
        Water greenhouse plants - done
        Harvest carrots - done

        Also spent quite a while scooping water off the path by the garage and mopping it up off the garage floor.

        Still battling with errant technology (solar panels and washing machine being temperamental), but managed 1/2 an hour to check the allotment and pull out a few weeds from the hotbed. Re-sowed the spinach from a new packet as it should have germinated by now but hasn't.

        Tuesday jobs (technology permitting)
        Weed drive
        Find 2 missing clips for the hotbed cover at allotment
        Clear debris from wind
        Harvest leeks

        • Tuesday jobs
          Weed drive - no
          Find 2 missing clips for the hotbed cover at allotment - looked but couldn't find them (black clips on black weed matting or black soil makes it tricky)
          Clear debris from wind - done some
          Harvest leeks - done

          Also pulled yet more grass out of the hotbed and pruned the spirea, white currant and apple trees.

          Bit windy for gardening today, but harvested calabrese and carrots from the greenhouse and lettuce from the grow light garden.

          No gardening time tomorrow, but intend to harvest PSB and possibly a parsnip.

            Workmen here all day and appointments this afternoon mean no gardening time - typical as the weather is gorgeous!

                    • Friday was impossibly wet and the ground was too wet to do much today other than watering the greenhouse plants and harvesting salads, romanesco and carrots. I also sprinkled a bit of bfb around the fruit bushes at the allotment.
