Well, Saturday was a washout, but what is a british bank holiday without a bit of torrential rain!!!
Sunday I got the last two strawberry plants in, and my out door cucumbers planted up! Weeded my strawberries, and my onions (which are looking pretty bloody wonderful just by the way) and pottered a lot!.
Got my leeks in last week, and got my french beans in this afternoon too. Dug out a few thistles, and ripped out tonnes of bloody horseraddish! I hate the stuff, really truley with an all consuming passion.
Green house is ready for my tomoatos and my cucumber tomorrow (hopefully) and am hoping to get my runner and boroltti beans planted and caned tomorrow too.
Also plan on planting out my out door tomoatos, and next week the squash, if i remember to collect it off viv on tuesday!!!
Lots left to do, got some swede in last weekend, and some more beetroot. Harvested my first baby raddishs today - the size of little marbles, but far tastier!!!
Raspberries aren't going as well as I hoped. only 8 out of 18 have started to sprout and i am sure at least three are totally dead as there is no green under the bark when scratched. hummmph! Will have to wait a couple of years and replace them with runners from the plants that I have got.
Hoping to get Shaun down to the Lottyment on Monday to help me put up the guttering on my shed and get the waterbutt fitted. the phrase hell freezing over comes to mind....
