Weeding yesterday, the parsnip bed looks much better for it.

Planted out 3 tree spinach(well I think that's what they are!).

Planted out 4 courgette plants at home(2 x Zucchini & Shooting Star), will eventually move them to the plot.

My 10 globe artichoke plants arrived so I popped back and planted these out

Did the food shopping. Picked up two new metal pie plates for £1 for both when I had just paid £7.95 online for the same plates!

Brought my Gigantes beans back into the house from where they were hardening off on my decking. The wind is blowing a hooligan outdoors and I was frightened they got snapped!
Off to an abs workout later, so that should be fun!

Planted out one border in gh with toms prepared the other side for planting tomorrow.

Planted out (well in tunnel) yin yang beans.

Finished weeding my onions

Yesterday I did some watering having neglected it over the past few days. Thankfully, have only lost a couple of Cosmos seedlings (of which I have far too many anyway!)

I also harvested some radishes. My first non-leaf crop from this garden - most satisfying. I washed and ate them immediately, while standing over the sink

More weeding and strimming today with help from the boss

I have a very steep border at the side of my house. Today i dug and raked  it over the best I could and intend turning it into a wildflower border.

Initially though I will raid my seed box and get all my packets of various flower seeds, in date,out of date and mix them all together then broadcast them on to the bare soil. Not today though as it is far too windy!

My days activities don't seem to change much at the moment
1. Pull up more chard and spinach seeding plants from the GH to make space for the last of the tomatoes.
2. Find an out of the way corner to replant the chard and spinach in the garden
3. Weed/clear the out of the way corner to replant the plants
4. Get sidetracked into pulling up dock or creeping buttercup or sticky willie.
5. Dump weeds in bin or on bonfire.
6. Pull up more weeds on way to bin/bonfire.
7. Go and talk to tadpoles and look for legs
8. Count courgettes and have inner discussion about whether to pick one to eat tonight or not.
9. Go back to house for a coffee/toilet break.
10. Pass GH and remember what I started doing.
11. Leave it until tomorrow.
