What's your plans for the long weekend (England)

[jackie j]

Hopefully painting two sheds, sowing seeds, pricking out, planting spuds, putting posts in, that's if its dry, organised a site BBQ if it's dry on Monday afternoon.
If it's wet we will be sorting out the loft and putting the loft insulation up there that's been sitting in one of the spare bedroom's for a couple of years. OH doesn't know this yet.

Hopefully painting two sheds,

I'm not sure she'll like that very much.

We are forecast snow around my area this weekend, so it will consist of covering anything I can then sitting near the fire with cups of tea

I have been offered another compost bin which now means I can replace the ramshakle wooden structure I inherited. I think it will take a couple of days to get the area cleared and organised. Luckily the compost is usable so I can spread it over the plot and use it to replenish raised beds at home. I just need to pick out all of the bits of bindweed that come with it

bindweed in the compost? eep! You are more daring than me! If i was you i'd start a good fire, get it smouldering and toss the compost on and around in and let it sit for a day or so. The heat should roast any bad boys in there!

[Sarico]

Can't we have a long weekend in Wales, Scotland and Ireland?

I wish I could have a day at least. For us chef you work when other are off. My day off is Thursday and after that Tuesday the same for all the bank holidays. I hope for everyone will be a fantastic big weekend.

I would normally be frantically clearing & planting ~ but weirdly I'm all up to date this year.

The lotty is well under control (do I speak too soon?). 4 years of no-dig (ish) and mulching are paying off: there's very little weeding to do and everything's in that needs to be in (onions, BBs and spuds mostly).

The school gardens are looking good: no weeding to be done there either, again the mulching and not digging are paying off in terms of reduced work.

The gh is full, the heated props are full.

I might paint the spare room

Can I borrow you for the weekend TS? Strictly gardening related, like!!

[Two_Sheds]

Oh yes! Shall I tell Mr TS, or will you?

[singleseeder]

Catching up with lottie. Have spent too much time at home sorting greenhouse, propagator and decorating the house.

Four days of bliss. Fingers crossed for the weather.

[Bigmallly]

Oh yeah - on Sunday I'm taking a friend away for her 30th birthday... Nothing too fancy, but I'm looking forward to a night in Scarborough with her and my daughter

Have lots of seedlings that need potting on.......Makes note, "Keep away from Scarborough".....

We did one of these last pagan festival. Every day except one [my jim jam day] was spent in the garden sorting it out. But now we are reaping the rewards as hardly any maintenance/hard landscaping/weeding to do.

I've decided to make the long weekend last 10 days. Huzzah. So lots of potting on and planting out for me then.

We won't be done this weekend - the work should take up right up to the May bank holiday - this weekend is prep for the digger and skip coming the weekend after!

Ooh, 10 days sounds nice though!

[taff]

sowing some more seeds. I splashed out yesterday on another lot of root trainers, and some cheapie modules. I splashed out on more seeds last week, and went through the seed box again last night and took a good few packets out, so now it's just a question of combining the two

[chris]

Oh yes! Shall I tell Mr TS, or will you?

I will if you tell my wife.

[chris]

....but for me, my wife and kiddies are going away for the week, wife wants me to go and join her over the weekend, but I may stay at home and do some more decorating (or just spend it on the plot more than likely).

[Normans Mum]

I will be planting the rest of my spuds and sorting my greenhouse if it's not SNOWING ! : /
