  • Tuesday jobs
    Start bringing dahlias and begonias out of garage - done some
    Try to find a solution to millions of tiny seedlings from seeds that landed a couple of weeks ago in the back garden (see photos below) - hoed some off
    Weeding and deadheading - done a bit
    Harvest spinach, rhubarb - done plus baby beetroot and lettuce

    No gardening time today although I did collect the overnight rain water - all water butts and bins are now full.

    Weeding and horsetail
    Go to shopping centre and find some decent compost (local garden centre changed hands and type of compost)
    Trim grass edges at allotment
    Harvest spinach, lettuce, baby beet

          The combination of bad weather and unusually large amounts to do at work has resulted in a huge backlog. Therefore I am going to have to choose from rather than attempt to do all of the following over the weekend:

          At my friend's
          Take tomatoes, pepper and courgette plants to greenhouse
          Plant out peas if big enough
          Sort out compost in greenhouse and plant cucumber
          Weeding
          Water greenhouse plants

          At allotment
          Take leeks and courgettes to plot
          Remove bolting romanesco and kale
          Dig horsetail out of west side of tunnel
          Plant summer leeks
          Weeding
          Cut grass and trim edges
          Tidy shed and put away bubble wrap etc
          Check watering
          Harvest lettuce, baby beet, spinach, rhubarb, check strawberries

          At home
          Try to tackle more weed seedlings
          Plant bedding plants and mulch
          Sow peas, replacement PSB, french beans
          Tidy garage
          Check watering
          Harvest french beans, spinach

                • Plant out tomatoes,peppers,French marigolds,geraniums,sweetcorn. Sow in June - peas,spring onions,lettuce,swede,carrots & rocket. My courgette,squash & cucumbers are a bit small for planting out yet,I might feed everything with seaweed tomorrow or the next day,they’re in their pots so long they need a bit of nutrients now.
