The weather made a nonsense of the weekend, with gales making life unpleasant outside on Saturday (when I got most of the stuff done at my friend's) and then being advised by the police to stay indoors in the evening due to a local shop fire. Yesterday it started raining at around 8am and continued until about 4.30, by which time everything was far too soggy to do much at all. With the discovery of blight on one of the tomato plants, all in all not a good weekend.

Got a hospital appointment this morning then hope to get some broad beans sown this afternoon. Put the washing on the line at 7.30am so it better not rain when I am away

Today's the start of my nutty plan to sow the same seeds every week until April to see when the best week for sowing is.
Its also Shoots week so a pinch of spring onions and something with a funny name.
Also to tidy Bed 15 and declutter an O.

New readers - its best not to ask!
