Well done for demonstrating. The water companies are all being exposed. You're now both famous or notorious,  take your pick.
Lots of mowing and strimming.
Yesterday was spent harvesting. I've neglected the beans for a few days so there were quite a few. Rain and wasps have decimated the raspberries so picked what I could.
Joined the Land Army. Big Grin
Sowed peas and beans in the GH.
Pricked out cabbage seedlings into modules.
Planted red cabbage and leeks

Far be it from me to go off topic, but I see Russia has raised the age for subscription to the army. Move to Russia, you might get a job as cannon foddder Smile
Today I collected some old fencing off someone up the street to be chopped up for the woodburner. I then ajusted the brakes on Fergie. After that I chopped sticks and sowed some old seeds of Spring cabbage..(two chances?) I also potted on a rather sad looking houseplant into a bigger pot. No idea what it's called though. Rolleyes
Thanks Vinny, but they'd have to raise the conscription age considerably for me to be eligible. Tongue
I pricked out some cauli seedlings (mixed old seeds), this morning.
Planted a lonely bean (the only one that grew from a jar of old seeds).
Planted chard seedlings in GH2
Weeded around some carrots and accidentally pulled out 10 or so teeny weenie carrot seedlings. I know they're not supposed to survive transplanting but they had to be given a chance...........I decided to treat them like leeks - dibber a hole, drop the seedling in and lightly pull the soil around it to keep it upright. Didn't bother with the watering business as I thought the tiny carrots would float away.
Cut my way into the courgette pit - the plants are exceedingly healthy. I have to trim off some leaves to wade through the plants. Walking on the hollow stems is quite satisfying - they pop. Big Grin
Went out lunchtime to collect a freebie and by the time I came home it was raining heavily. Glad I didn't bother watering anything!
Potted up some basil seedlings.
Sowed salad rocket in GH1.
The daily training of cucumbers. Can't be much longer before they learn to Sit. Big Grin

My cucs are lazy, they crawl or sit, I'm training mine to climb. One is determined to get back down to the floor from the roof for a lie down.
Cleaned 4 kitchens. Dropped a big block of green heart on my foot.
