    • Today I broke up pallets and started building my cold frame (which is over 2m long!).

      If the weather hold tomorrow, I will hopefully finish it off

          • Not done a thing, apart from daydream about all the stuff I could be doing down the allotment. Especially today with the sun out!
            Working again! It'll be probably raining when I want to go again.
            Have a great day at your plot, everyone!

              • Potted on chillies and introduced them to outside for a few hours (warm and sunny today). Put overwintered fatalii outside for the afternoon.
                Sowed tomatoes indoors.

                    • Sowed, my 4 inch broadies out on veg plot planted, carrot, scorzonera, radish on plot. Sowed bucket of spring onions, 2 pumpkin seeds 4 courgette seeds and a tray of french beans and sweet peppers in the green house. Cleaned out the coop and checked my injured silkie was still ok. She got her head stuck and was bleeding so she is separate at the moment x doing well though !!!

                        1. Put up bamboo for when I plant the peas and runner beans.
                        2. Planted strawberry plants
                        3. Planted some more onions
                        4. Planted early potatoes, maybe a bit too early but I'm taking a gamble.
                        5. Planted 3 red hot pokers in containers. Might sell some plants in the long run, have too many.

                        • Finished leveling all the soil out under cover,outside cold frame sowed 2 types of cauli's,1 cabbage,and leeks in another,soil was fairly warm as they have a cover on top,trying straight into the ground instead of trays ext,my thinking is they hopefully make better plants before their final place,as the root system will be better,it's a large outdoor seed tray with plank sides and a solid poly plastic top,

                            • Finished my gate off, topped up one of the beds with fresh compost, and sown some leeks, onions and tomatoes.

                              Now the gates finished, I've complete all my winter projects so bring on spring and summer.

                              • Blimey - what haven't we done. Mr VVG went up the lotty and divided the two big beds, so now they are four and easier to manage. Autumn raspberries pruned. Rhubarb and asparagus beds mulched. Raspberry hedge mulched as well.
                                Back home, one half of the garden cleared of other people's cr@p, weeded for perennials (started to appear), hoed and mulch topped - looks so much better. All roses pruned - hands ripped to b*ggery. Tree peonies and ordinary peony shrubs starting to bud, so major cutting back on dead areas. Alchemilla clumps have had a major haircut each. Fed roses with bonemeal.
                                In the greenhouse I pricked out what feels like a thousand cabbage seedlings - more for the RSPCA sale. Broadies from January are up and out of the props. Beetroot through too. Two lengths of guttering filled with compost and Greenshaft pea in the V formation. Popped those into the poly on the hanging shelf. More tomatoes sown into pots.
                                Feel absolutely crackered, but the other half of the garden needs attack from me tomorrow. Anyone else feeling it after two solid days in the garden? I've done absolutely nothing else at all.
