Very little time so far this week and unfortunately when I have had time for gardening it has been pouring with rain. I have managed to plant some tulip bulbs in pots and harvest carrots, calabrese and a few very small beans, but that's about it.

Decent weather forecast tomorrow, but no gardening time. Maybe on Friday...

This weekend plant the garlic & onion sets outside,I don’t know where to plant them,it always takes a long time deciding where can things go. Sow some meteor peas by the broccoli,if I put a bowl of peas next to the bed would the mice leave the ones in the soil alone

Probably not, but its worth a try!

The plan for today was to take the rhubarb roots and horsetail to the tip (which I did) and then weed, deadhead and generally tidy up. All of that went by the board because the raspberry plants arrived, and as they were bare rooted they needed planting immediately. I was expecting an email telling me they had been dispatched, but there was no warning at all.
Also harvested 2 small courgettes, a handful of small runner beans, carrots, a leek and a pepper.

Not much gardening time today as I was waiting in for a man to come and estimate for mending a drainpipe - he said he would come mid morning, but turned up at 1.30. At least he did eventually turn up. Managed to weed the drive while I was waiting and got to the allotment afterwards and removed some dead leaves from the brassicas and harvested calabrese and carrots.
