Thanks Andraste. I find it helpful to think about what I intend to do each day, and I do sometime look back to see what I did and when. Glad you find it useful.

Just wanted to say I appreciate your posts in this thread Penellype. A nice record for you but also timely reminders for me as my jobs usually need to be done a couple of weeks behind you - so thank you for taking the time

Weather permitting, we'll also be weeding tomorrow (I'm actually wishing for colder weather to stop them growing now). The remaining Gigantes Beans will be harvested allowing us to clear away the remains of our climbing legumes, remove the canes & tidy the bed. I must remember to bring home the clippers (secateurs ?sp) & oil them up as they've got a bit stiff

If we're motivated we'll be emptying one of the dalek bins & chopping some scrap wood for a 05 Nov bonfire - that & any other jobs done will be a bonus. I should really give the shed a tidy too - I've earmarked some blowaway shelving to help with storage (the cover has perished) but I doubt I'll do that this weekend.

I've a few left over broadie seeds that I'll sow for overwinter but those will be done in pots at home as our plot's too wet for direct autumn sowing.
