          I thought I had posted weekend jobs, but clearly not!

          At my friend's I did some weeding, watered the greenhouse plants and harvested a cucumber.
          At the allotment I did some weeding (especially horsetail), cut the grass and some of the edges and tied in the tomatoes, cucumber and melons. Harvested a kohl rabi, courgette, beans, lettuce, beetroot, peas, raspberries and gooseberries.
          At home I did some weeding, deadheading and watered the greenhouse. Harvested cucumber, tomatoes, beans and a small pepper.

          Monday jobs (weather permitting)
          Collect rain water
          Clear up mess from next door cutting top of leylandii hedge
          Weeding and horsetail
          Deadheading
          Remove finished peas
          Harvest lettuce, cucumber, raspberries, blueberries
