  • Tomorrow, if it's not raining too hard - go to the park and collect more leaves. I'm going to need all the leaves I can get for my new plot

    • I didn't intend to, but I have washed down the inside of the greenhouse with a sterilising solution that I've used since I was a lad. Turned the soil over and sunk most of the pots in the soil to act as an insulation from the worst of the frosts.

          Not sure I will have much time today, so anything I do is likely to fall into the weeding and general tidying category.

                        At my friend's
                        Check and harvest tomatoes in greenhouse - done
                        Remove dead tomato plants - done some
                        Weeding - no, too wet

                        At home
                        Clear up leaves - done some
                        Weeding and deadheading - done some
                        Harvest peppers, carrots, calabrese - done except calabrese

                        At allotment
                        Clear up leaves - no, too wet
                        Weeding, especially in tunnel - no, too wet
                        Remove dead cucumber plant no, too wet

                        Harvest beetroot, lettuce, possibly leek, turnip or parsnip - done lettuce and some baby spinach

                        The weather was unkind. The ground was very wet on Saturday and apart from spraying a few whitefly at the allotment (SMC oil) and tidying and nipping a few dead heads off at home nothing got done. Sunday was much, much wetter than forecast and all I managed was to remove some of the finished tomatoes in the greenhouse and discover blight on the 3 remaining plants at home, which I also removed.

                        Expecting the ground to still be very, very wet.

                        Weed tunnel
                        Harvest lettuce, carrots, calabrese
