Wednesday was watering and weeding. Also took some pics will update plot thread later

Weeding, seed sowing and a bike ride.

Weeding now the ground is soft and dug up the Garlic before the rust and leaf miner did for it. However despite that it wasn’t a bad crop.

That would make a good jig saw puzzle!

Shopping,cooking then I finally managed to get the chainsaw out and filled three large barrows with chopped wood! Hopefully will be able to get a couple of hours at the plot tomorrow......weather depending!

Yesterday - laundry, biking, cleared, weeded, tidied around the pond and topped it up, retreated inside when the rain arrived.
Today - housework, weeded in the rain for an hour, topped up the pond some more, got utterly drenched!

Bought some tile battens and made up a bit of trellis, then put it in place, cleared away some chippings below the trellis, made up a box 2ft long 18in. high and 9in. wide, this will sit below the trellis to hold a clematis, which will be planted tomorrow

Watered tunnels. Weeded tunnel bed. Potted up a strawberry runner. Set another 2 mango seeds. Hopefully they’ll germinated.

Cut lots of brambles out of the Zephirine Drouhin roses as I want to take some cuttings and it was difficult to see the rose for the weeds!
Once again, the Water Board man came to test the water that's bubbling out of the roadside - he's a regular visitor because its always being reported as people think its leaking from the reservoir across the road. He asked for a glass of water and a glass of "empty water"!! That's a bit like eating an empty plate of food. Great diet.

I also moved a large tub, it was sitting in the space where I put the new trellis, and as its a good size I planted it up with some potatoes
