      • Chop something down
      • Walk down the plot for something and when I get there forgot what I came for. Repeat several times taking a different item back with me each time until I remember it was a cup of coffee in the first place but it's now heading off home time. Then drink said beverage once I get home.
      • Rebuild the other part of the greenhouse beds
      • Plant out the toms and peppers destined for the other part of the green house bed.
      • Pot up remaining toms and peppers into MFBs
      • Plumb in more drippers into the greenhouse irrigation for the MFBs
      • Plant out pumpkin plant
      • Plant out some lavender
      • Plant out some Mexican Marigolds

      Done it all except the last 2.

            Tomorrow I intend to (work permitting):

            Deal with the beetroot - I need the space for a bucket of peas.
            Plant out the peas - I need to find a space for a 2nd bucket.
            Pot up the cosmos
            Sort out the front (peas and beans have got battered by wind and probably need to go round the back, which could be entertaining).
            Deadhead the flowers in the front garden
            Get rid of that calabrese (last summer's plants)
            Pot up brokali and broccoli seedlings and the last 2 chitted beans
            Harvest salads and strawberries
            Dig some compost out of the hotbin (full) and find somewhere to put it
            Sort out the garage which is currently full of miscellaneous bags, buckets and trugs of various types of compost and compostable material (waiting for hotbin space), nets, plastic covers and poles.

            No doubt I will find other things that need attention too.

                Good luck, Balders.

                Anyway, for me tomorrow:

                Water up from the well for the main plot
                Water both plots and seedlings
                Muck and earth up potatoes
                Weed another bed (next to onions)
                Tie up the toms again if I have time
                Paid drudgery

                  Fallen at the first hurdle: no water up from the well, so no mucking and earthing up the potatoes. So far, just destroyed a huge wasp's nest that was lurking under the handles of one of my water butts. Will leave the filling till tomorrow. Also disposed of a lot of snails chomping on the courgettes and Dunluce potatoes.

                  Other jobs still stand.

                    Today I will be making a lemon meringue pie.
                    Because if you think I'm going out there in this weather..........you are so so wrong!

                    I might brave a visit to the little tunnel to pull up bolting carrots.

                      SUCCESS[SIZE=2]So you will just have to put up with me.

                      Today we have had to do further works on the pea stringing and water everything. First tomato plant gone to its new home.

                          Bit damp here this morning, but not as bad as further north.

                          Anyway...

                          Today I intended to (work permitting):

                          Deal with the beetroot - I need the space for a bucket of peas. - done
                          Plant out the peas - I need to find a space for a 2nd bucket. - done and I've found a space for the bucket.
                          Pot up the cosmos - failed again. Maybe Jay-ell has a point...
                          Sort out the front (peas and beans have got battered by wind and probably need to go round the back, which could be entertaining). - nope
                          Deadhead the flowers in the front garden - done (also done the back garden)
                          Get rid of that calabrese (last summer's plants) - nope
                          Pot up brokali and broccoli seedlings and the last 2 chitted beans - done
                          Harvest salads and strawberries - done for today
                          Dig some compost out of the hotbin (full) and find somewhere to put it - done
                          Sort out the garage which is currently full of miscellaneous bags, buckets and trugs of various types of compost and compostable material (waiting for hotbin space), nets, plastic covers and poles. - done some, can now get inside.

                          No doubt I will find other things that need attention too - washed and put away a load of plant labels so I can now find things quickly, sowed some more beetroot. Watering.

                          Basically I decided that until I sorted out the hotbin I was going to run up against nowhere to put whatever else I was trying to do. so that took priority today.

                          Tomorrow I'm hoping to (work permitting, busier day expected):
                          Cut down that calabrese.
                          Try to find a home round the back for the peas from the front garden as they have finished flowering and look messy.
                          Pot up those cosmos plants - they are teasing me as I have 3 tall and 5 shorter, which doesn't divide nicely into either 2 or 3 pots. I grew them from seed and only these survived.
                          Harvest peas, strawberries
                          Watering

                            I did get tangentised on the hunt for gooseberries - that's my excuse for not doing everything

                            Plant the remaining onion sets

                            Clear more undergrowth.

                                Tomorrow I intend to:

                                Stake the remaining asparagus ferns.
                                Chop up and make tea from the big piles of nettles and comfrey I pulled up at the weekend.
                                Plant out some squashes.

                                That's quite ambitious, as I'll only be at the plot for an hour maximum before work.
