Potted on some Rosemary and various tomatoes.
Washed a load of various sized pots and saucers.

Watered a few things.
Muttered about the seed compost that has set like concrete (I might need to repot some things).
Weeded, then weeded some more and even more.
Extended a bed a bit and then much more around the corner, digging out ivy, brambles, ferns, whips, creeping buttercup, bricks, boulders, a saucepan (with half a brick in it), iron mesh, glass, ceramic tiles, clay pipe, roof tiles and finally gave up on the 2 inch diameter iron pipe after digging down a few feet making no discernable progress.
Potted on more toms.
Decided I need to make the beds more permanent with edging and paths.
While wearing your night clothes, plant cucumbers on the 1st May before the sun comes up, and they will not be attacked by bugs.
