    • Weekend jobs

      At my friend's
      Weeding
      Dig over bed where peas were*
      Water greenhouse plants
      Harvest tomatoes

      *I usually do no dig, but my friend's garden is next to fields and there are definite rat runs under the veg garden. I have tried filling them with water, but that doesn't seem to stop more holes from appearing. Apart from the idea of working that near rats (which is probably happening anyway to be honest), the rat runs deprive the plants of water and I have had sections of pea plants die as a result. So I am digging to disturb them as they do not like being disturbed.

      At allotment
      Uncover tomato and courgette plants protected from frost
      Check plants for wind and frost damage
      Collect more flood water
      Weeding and horsetail
      Harvest tomatoes if any, courgette, beans, romanesco, pink blueberries

      At home
      Weeding
      Deadheading
      Start planning for next year
      Water greenhouse plants
      Harvest tomatoes, peppers, beans, summer leeks, carrots

        Expecting it to rain all day today, so any gardening will be restricted to planning for next year.

            Driving past the allotments this morning it looks like the council are cutting the hedge. I will probably therefore have to spend most of the gardening time clearing up the clippings.
            Also:
            Collect rain water
            Weeding and horsetail
            Remove yellow brassica leaves
            Deadheading
            Harvest lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, beetroot, check peas, strawberries

              Also cut back the nettles and I'm attempting to make some nettle feed with them.

              Annoyingly the council stopped the hedge cutting half way down, so they may well do mine today when I am busy with meetings and probably won't have time to clear up the mess.
