  • in the unlikely event of getting enough time and not being too hungover, I will be digging out the remnants of an old compost heap and planting raspberry canes

    Comment


    • Friday jobs
      Work looks very likely to intervene today, so I may not get anything done. If time:
      Chop more weeds for compost
      Take shredded paper and leaf mould and add to raised bed
      cut some more branches off leylandii hedge
      Harvest salads, carrots, brokali

        • Do more work on 'Light Box 2, hopefully get it finished and lights fitted ready to take early sown onions (sown on Oct 31st) which are now well grown ie approx 35 cm high, and ready to Harden off for a few weeks.
          They are still in the light box 1. which is heated, I'm needing space in there now for following stuff.
          Sow some Tomato seeds and more mixed salad leaves, spinach and lettuce.

                  • Tonight Mathew, I'm going to be:

                    (Que clouds of smoke and a drum roll)
                    That guy sowing seeds - finally.

                    Got all the trays and the heated tray washed and ready. Soil/medium is in the spare room warming up, labels cut from a 2Ltr plastic water bottle and also printed from the labeler all ready for some action.

                    Now it's just up to me to get it wrong. ;-)
