What I intend to do today/tomorrow!

[lolie]

Today I'm having Christmas lunch with my children. It's going to be 39C, so all I'll be doing when I get back home is watering.

Tomorrow is going to be much cooler, so I'll spend it putting together my new raised bed.

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Tomorrow being "Christmas Eve" it's like the beckoning of a new year, clean sheet, fresh challenges, and a fresh outlook! Oh! and a few day's off work!

So the propogater will be set up! The lighting rigs twigged, and a few pots, trays and toilet roll holders will be brought into play, cleaned and disinfected!

Yes!

Cooking up 4 different kinds of turkey curry, then meatballs and a vat each of spag bol and chilli with the 6kg of mince I found in the yellow sticker section of the supermarket this morning, and using a variety of leftover veg from entertaining over the weekend.done.
We have loads of freezer space at the moment, so that should fill the space until our harvests get going again-and free up a few evenings for seed planting too

Today I will mostly be plucking geese.

Tempting to join you today, but I don't think it is legal to catch one feeding in front of my house.
Think they need to be flying over water

Continue with moss if current covering of slush melts - no chance, slush is now freezing
Continue planning - struggling with this at the moment
Harvest salads - done

No gardening time tomorrow.

Friday jobs
Garden is a no go area after a frost last night and it is now snowing and not about to stop any time soon.
Pot up a couple of French beans - the compost has been brought indoors to warm up and will be mixed with a bit of fresh horse manure and some finely chopped haylage. The idea here is to test the haylage for aminopyralid because it has been bought in and I don't know where it comes from.
Continue planning.
Harvest salads.

Friday jobs
Pot up a couple of French beans - done
Continue planning - in progress
Harvest salads - done

Weekend jobs
The forecast of overnight rain and rising temperatures has proved inaccurate, it was cold enough to freeze the lying slush and then it has snowed again a bit on top of it. Gardening today is not going to be possible, and tomorrow we are forecast heavy rain and gales.

At my friend's
Check lettuces in greenhouse
Weeding if possible

At home
Check snow has not damaged anything
Clear ice away from garage door if possible (currently lethal)
Continue planning
Wash some pots
Harvest salads, carrots (from garage if necessary), turnips if possible
