What I intend to do today/tomorrow!

[Penellype]

Tuesday jobs
Apply slug nematodes if possible - done
Harvest salads, beans, french beans, courgettes, tomatoes - done
Check calabrese, strawberries - done, ate the calabrese
Check pots and water if required (preferably along with the nematodes) - done

Less work to do than anticipated so also managed to mow the front lawn (parts of the rear lawn have been seeded so I can't mow that at the moment) and started to check and tidy up the onions ready for stringing.

Wednesday jobs
The job that really needs doing is taking some compost out of the bottom of the hotbin so that I will have room for all the debris from autumn. What's stopping me is a nasturtium plant in front of the hotbin, which will get squashed in the process. I need to be ruthless, as the hotbin is full and I need the space.
Weeding and deadheading
Harvest salads, tomatoes, beans, carrots, strawberries
Check blueberries and harvest any remaining ripe ones

Tomorrow is Wednesday, 27th in Fruits week.
On Weednesday, I weed and I'll tidy bed 27 (mostly chard and asparagus kale) NOT DONE
As I've finished the alphabet until 1st October, I shall do something completely random (nothing new there) Sorted some old flower seeds to scatter in the garden - Decluttering
I need to do some tomato leaf pruning but keep putting it off as there are so many whitefly lying in wait for me. Maybe I'll brave them tomorrow. NOT DONE

Today was a washout so I achieved nothing today
Rolling them over to tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Thursday, 28th in Fruits week.
On Thursday, I thin out and transplant - not much to do there!
The beds ran out of numbers at 27 so there isn't a bed 28 - its a wildcard bed - but I need to do Bed 27 that I missed today.
The end of the month is catch-up time - it all starts again on Sunday, 1st October.

What's stopping me is a nasturtium plant in front of the hotbin, which will get squashed in the process. I need to be ruthless, as the hotbin is full and I need the space - done with only minor squashing of the nasturtium
Weeding and deadheading - done some
Harvest salads, tomatoes, beans, carrots, strawberries - done tomatoes and strawberries
Check blueberries and harvest any remaining ripe ones - done

I decided to take down the net on the fruit cage because it was dry and the forecast is for rain most days and then very strong winds around Monday. Picked all the remaining blueberries and covered the carrots under the shelf with a smaller net.

Harvested the florence fennel as it was bolting, which rather changed my dinner plans so I didn't harvest beans or carrots.

Busy tomorrow so unlikely to get anything done in the garden.

Today's jobs is Sorting Seeds for Sowing tomorrow - and I still have time to do that

Tomorrow is Monday, 2nd October and its Leaves Week
On Mondays I sow seeds - this week its Leaves - lettuce, salad leaves, rocket and kale.

I was going to start Pottyculture spuds tomorrow but have decided to leave it until next week - Roots week - as that will prompt me to plant spuds every 4th week. http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...dea_94966.html

On the 2nd Day of the month I tidy Bed 2 and do things beginning with B, including Decluttering some B things
I'm adding 2 more daily tasks - Weeds beginning with B (Buttercups) and Cleaning summat beginning with B (Bathroom)

Weekend jobs
At my friend's:
Check tomatoes in greenhouse and remove anything mouldy - done
Cut at least the 2 largest melons and bring indoors to see if they will ripen - done, cut all of them as the plants were completely dead. 9 melons tennis ball sized or bigger from 2 plants, but so far none of them ripe.
Possibly harvest the 2nd bucket of Sarpo Mira potatoes - too wet
Weeding where possible - too wet
Harvest tomatoes, cucumber, beans, courgettes - done

At home:
Weeding and deadheading - done some
Trim dead leaves off strawberries - done some

Continue tidying garage - no
Harvest (choose from) salads, tomatoes, beans (french and runner), courgettes, carrots, beetroot, pak choi, kohlrabi, bolted leek - done some
Check calabrese, strawberries - done, nearly ready again

The tomatoes are really suffering from the continued damp. I had to cut down both of the Garden Pearl in the greenhouse because they were rapidly turning into mounds of mould, but I did manage to salvage some tomatoes. The Megabyte in the growhouse was also cut down completely as it was going mouldy. The balconi plants in the garden are also suffering from mould and I spent quite a long time pulling off dead leaves, picking any fruit that was showing signs of ripening and cutting back mouldy branches. I don't think they have long to live.

Monday jobs
This week is looking decidedly difficult for gardening with Tuesday and Thursday ruled out due to appointments and meetings, and a howling gale blowing today. Hopefully the forecast wind and lack of rain will dry out the back garden lawn enough for me to mow it on Wednesday!
Weeding and deadheading if possible
Rearrange front fence if possible
Harvest salads, beans, beetroot, carrots, calabrese, strawberries
