What I intend to do today/tomorrow!

[Nicos]

Choices, choices

We really do need to plant up the new flower boarder OH and daughter created last week.
Also weed the gravel driveway which I've not even started!
(Think I should really have been doing that on Wednesday instead of playing around in water all afternoon)

Managed to get the bean wigwam up and plant out the beans this morning. Also took the large hanging shelf out of the polytunnel and tied in the tomatoes that were underneath.
Discovered about 20 big snails hiding in amongst some stacked rocks next to my raised beds - that'll be where all my seedlings have been going then!

Today's jobs:
Sow the last lot of peas (Geisha)
Reorganize grow light garden (beans and last tomato sideshoot to go outside)
Deal with the strawberry runners - peg some down and cut the others off
Harvest another bucket of Lady C potatoes
Go to the garden centre and try to find a couple more trailing plants for the front fence and some strong supports for the outdoor tomatoes at my friend's, plus another bag of compost.
Reorganize the front fence a bit.
Plan weekend jobs at my friend's.
Harvest peas, strawberries, a couple of french beans and a few tiny calabrese shoots
Cut down the calabrese before it tempts me to leave it any longer!

Sort out the area where i pulled up the broad beans, and decided what's going there, weeding, planting out parsley and rocket,

Yesterday was a success

Today's plan is identical to VC's - which is weird as I'm at work until 5 - VC must have secret plans

I am hoping to get more planting / digging done at the weekend but we're rather busy with 'life' things - boo typical when its looking like a glorious weekend!

[veggiechicken]

Hope you're not planning on picking MY strawberries Vixy
Save yourself the journey - they're picked and mostly eaten

[Nicos]

Yey!
New border planted up!
10ft x2ft.....All for free by splitting things from elsewhere in the garden!

The weeding of the drive will probably be started tomorrow.....

Hot innit?

I was doing really well until the postman arrived with my new shelving. This was really impressive from Two Wests and Elliot. They were made to measure, not a standard size, and they were ordered at lunchtime on Wednesday. Needless to say, everything else came to a grinding halt while I worked out how to put one of them together. The other will have to wait until tomorrow.

Tomorrow's jobs will appear later.

Turned out that round 2 had ended with a knock out so finished some of the jobs from the other day (move compost, fill bed, dismantle compost bin) and also the lavender from earlier on as well.

I'd love to have room to try so many varieties. Very jealous!

I'm heading to my plot in the early evening to cut out all the powdery mildew leaves on my courgettes. While there I'll grab some beans and probably do a little weeding. If I have time, I'll put up a net for the goya to climb.
