          Right, toms tied up and sideshooted. They're getting a bit like a jungle...

          Leeks still to do, but the bed is now fully prepared (by Mr Snoop, my contribution was the instructions). I have a grim headache, so they might still have to wait till tomorrow.

                  Trim euonymus - done
                  Tie in clematis - done
                  Deadheading - done a bit
                  Watering - gave this a rest as it rained quite a bit this morning.

                  Also managed:
                  Found and killed a vine weevil adult
                  Chopped up yesterday's pea foliage and fed it to the wormery
                  Picked all the misshapen and poorly pollinated strawberries and made them into sauce for the freezer
                  Picked all the ripe Balconi tomatoes and planted one of the plants (finished for now) in its balconniere pot and put it outside.
                  Harvested more strawberries and tomatoes
                  Slug and snail patrol (4 snails and 1 huge brown slug).

                  Weekend jobs:
                  At my friend's
                  Pot up the last 2 tomatoes in the greenhouse
                  Tie in and sideshoot the tomatoes
                  Put support frame round outdoor tomato plant
                  Put weed suppressant down on paths
                  Weeding
                  Harvest potatoes (Charlotte) and cucumber.

                  At home:
                  Rearrange plants on fence as 2 of the nemesia have finished flowering
                  Weeding and deadheading
                  Mow rear lawn and trim edges
                  Sow cabbage and beetroot
                  Harvest strawberries, tomatoes, turnips, a few peas, couple of french beans and possibly a few small calabrese shoots (from last year's plant)
                  Watering as required

                  The idea this weekend is to get everything tidy and sorted out so that if the weather is as terrible as the forecast next week I won't be too frustrated. (The forecast for York is currently for over 2 inches of rain on Wednesday alone!).

                    • Feed Humphrey ( the pumpkin)
                      Maybe some more weeding (not if it's still raining when I finish work)

                      • This morning a plan on feeding my tomatoes and thinning out some of their leaves as it's becoming a bit biushy in the greenhouse. I'll then do a bit of weeding on my garden. Got some logs to cut after that. Dinner time and then out to the pub all day/night with the lads. Why not eh?

                          I was wondering who Humphrey was in an earlier post of yours!
