    • Tomorrow l plan to earth up the pink fir apple potatoes with manure and grass clippings. Also want to plant out my homegrown romenesco cauliflower plugs - once I've found room after planting the rest of my sweetcorn that is! I've got a few solitary shallots to put out in the veg plot too and one more grow bag to go in the conservatory with melon seedlings..busy day.. I should be calling it a night now really!

        • Tomorrow I'm going to the plot and hopefully strimming the plot next door as the grass is so high and hanging over my beds.
          I have a couple of trays of kale to plant out. How much kale does one need!?
          Various squashes and courgettes to plant out on the plot.

          to plant out at home
          Lima beans
          Cucumbers
          French climbing beans from the seed swap
          Runner beans from the seed swap

          Cup and saucer seedlings to pot on.

          More tomatoes to plant in the greenhouse

            • If the weather holds off tomorrow, I intend to finish off the string netting for the beans, harvest some cut-and-come-again lettuce & rocket. The other day I may have 'pinched' the wrong trusses on the tomato plant. But I always say to myself, 'It's a learning curve. If it goes wrong, you know not to do it again - until the next time!' Plant some poached egg plant seeds. Tie up the drooping potato stalks. There are flower buds on them, but they're taking their own sweet time in flowering. Ooo! And probably dodging the rain that's forecast

                  Harvest cauliflower, peas, carrots if edible, strawberries - done strawberries and a few raspberries.

                  Another complete write-off of a day. The neighbours and people at the bus stop probably thought I was completely mad watering the whole garden (with nematodes) in the rain.

                  Wednesday jobs
                  Collect more rain water
                  Plant tomatoes (getting very urgent)
                  Remove cauliflower to make room for tomatoes
                  Defrost freezer (before I can freeze cauliflower)
                  Pull/dig horsetail
                  Trim long bits of hawthorn
                  Remove bolted carrots, eat any that are edible
                  Harvest more cauliflower, lettuce, peas, strawberries, raspberries, possibly beetroot
