Shovelled about a ton of chippings....................

Managed to purchase 9 bags of 60ltr grow more compost for £3.00 as they had tiny splits in them
God I love a bargain.

I did lots of weeding and harvesting and jumped out of my skin when i almost touched a snake (a big one)
Trimmed up one of the olive trees
So much watering as it has been neglected for a while.
Trying to re organise the front a little so stood and stared for a long time, but not sure........

I potted up my blackberry cutting from Planetologist (thank you so much!) and stared intently at the seeds I sowed on sunday. I sowed 96 seeds (I counted) and not ONE of them is even showing a glimmer of coming through. Starting to feel like I imagined sowing them at all!

Bought 10 x 50l compost, now ready to pot things on its quite good stuff for 2.48e a bag.
2 new bins to replace the ones in the garage i will use the old ones and plant potatoes in them, 56 litre bins and bought 2 large pots again for potatoes, going to put these at the front of the house and type to use all recycled water from the house.

Cleared out the weeds from the strawberry bed and had a nice big fire with tree cuttings

Pretty much exactly what I have been doing today as well. Cutting logs and shifting logs.

Bought some compost today to fill my new raised bed.

Downside is I'd over estimated how much I needed by 3 bags but on the plus side I now have 3 spare bags of compost

I dug out the new home for and planted 2 fruit trees - a damson and a plum.

Lastly managed to get the time to sow some peas, didn't have a lot of luck with them last year so I gave the seeds a nice soaking prior to planting and I'll see how that works.

Oh and I planted some strawberries

I painted the raised beds that we put together last night, and checked on the onion sets that i stuck in a couple of 8inch pots last week (shoulder to shoulder). To my huge suprise, there are green shoots on most of them, and a couple of roots poking out the bottom!

Put the lid on my polytunnel and planted some new rhubarb.
