    • Tuesday jobs
      Check allotment and collect any slugs and snails - done
      Attempt to replace bulb in grow light - I can't see how to get the old one out! - no
      Dig horsetail if time - done some
      Harvest carrots - done plus PSB and rhubarb

      Also sorted out the shed at the allotment.

      Wednesday jobs
      Very wet everywhere and forecast heavy showers, possibly with hail and thunder so I will probably be concentrating on things at home, mainly indoors.
      Check allotment, collect water and any slugs and snails
      Move germinated peas under lights
      Attempt to change that bulb in the grow light
      Harvest lettuce, microgreens, carrots

                        • Today bought chicken pellets for raised bed. Pellets will go in soon's the wind dies down. Gales and chicken **** dinnae mix.

                          Also: done bought compost. Got an old clean compost bag full of microscopic holes & the Aldi slow cooker wot packed in after 3 months. Jest waitin on some Giant Winter leek seeds to arrive - tomorry, likely - then will sow in slow cooker which has the necessary depth.

                          Hope springs eternal; or is it madness? Or maybe just bad grammar/spelling/regional dialect.
