I have a grand total of two

Just watering today. The thirsty ones are making themselves known. Mainly the cardoon and dahlia yams. The dahlias spruce up in a matter of minutes from having a good drink, the speed of "recovery" is remarkable

Not going to get much done outside over the next day or two as its raining. But yday i put up the frame for my french climbing beans. I also add 4 wheelbarrow loads of manure to the bean bed. Also potted on some leeks. I already have around 40 in the ground but these are a late variety.

Bit of news. Had a interview for a part time/casual driving job at a local car dealership on monday. They called Tuesday and offered me the job. Hopefully the hours should fit in with me looking after my son.

Have just potted up two cucamelon plug plants which arrived in the post from Suttons. A bit of a mystery, because I've never ordered anything from Suttons - but anyway, at least getting freebies is better than getting junk mail.

Planted some spare strawberry plants in a redundant recycling box.

Congrats on your job offer Chris

Planting out day - pak choi (red & green), turnips (veitches red globe and snowball), mizuna, kale nero and thousand head.
Potted on red cabbages as they have stalled but are too small to survive flea beetle attck.

Organised my greenhouse watering buckets. Topped them with the soil buckets and planted up ( - got tired so will have to do the rest tomorrow) so far 3 melons, and three Telepathy cucumbers.
They are much smaller than I have grown in previous years by this stage so I hope they put a bit of a spurt on.
