  • Good week forecast for Nothumberland this week combined with good shifts at work (4 days off and Wednesday is 5pm - 10pm) = catch up with jobs time for me!

    Today I potted up a load of bulbs that should have been done in the autumn *whoops* and laid out my potatoes to chit in the greenhouse. Also had a good tidy of pots full of dead plants (HHA flowers from the summer) - chucked twigs and old compost onto compost heap and put the empty pots into pile for cleaning (next weeks' job).


    Tuesday's jobs include.....

    Potting up onion & shallot sets in greenhouse.
    Digging up perennials from bottom beds and polytunnel beds and move to flower bed area at gate.

    IF I still have any daylight/energy left I'll make a start on emptying the raised beds in the ex-polytunnel and spread the soil onto the bottom area which is were my veg beds will be going.

    Emptying these two beds (30ft long, 4ft wide and 3ft high!) will probably take me most of the week but it needs done before Neil can dismantle it and build a new shed and chicken run there.
    If I'm not on the Grapevine I can usually be found here!....https://www.thecomfreypatch.co.uk/

            • Yesterday I managed to find time to sow some peppers and I moved the tomato seedlings to the taller grow lights as they were getting too big for the grow light garden.

              Friday jobs
              Continue tidying garage (basically the problem is that the lawn mower has no home due to getting an extra freezer last year, and wherever I put it it is in the way!)

              • Vaguely garden related, but now the weather has taken a turn for the better I have no excuse (apart from a painful foot of course) NOT to carry on concreting of ramped area to font of house. Loaded my Vauxhall Corsa up with six bags of aggregate today and in morning will go and get four bags of sharp sand and a couple of bags of cement. Then its all systems go I suppose.

                  • Tomorrow I intend on dedicating the day to writing my uni essay, before I allow myself to do anything gardening related. If I don't do it like that, I never get it done LOL

                        • Tomorrow is putting in 4 x 6ft fence panels in my back garden slotting them into the concrete uprights on my own by creating some wooden handles out of part of the old fence I replaced on the lottie plot 1 to make them a single person job. I'll be taking photos how to do it if you ever have to do this yourselves as its normally a 2 man job to lift them up to 6ft to slot them into the concrete posts.
