      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 grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

          • 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!

                    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!
