- Potted on cucumbers

- Transplanted 56 onions at the plot

- Sowed some more seeds

Put up my tunnel in à tunnel. Found my heater and put in the seedlings that have been in and out of the house like yo yos.

[attachment=2323]Here’s a picture of it. Thank you L**l!!

Weeded and mulched the central bed in the front garden. Now you can more-or-less tell what's flower bed and what's (weedy) lawn

Also tidied the back garden, as there were loads of odds and ends lying around after winter: compost bags, empty plant pots, broken canes, plant labels, bits of leftover guttering from the shed and conservatory. It still looks a bit like a building site (especially with the builder's bag in the middle of the future lawn), but another run to the tip will see the back of the remaining junk, and by the end of the month it should be starting to look pretty civilised!

Replaced two bed edgings and added more bark to the paths.

Sowed a batch of cabbage and broccoli seeds.

Not a great deal today

- Sowed and resown some seeds, new ones being peas

- Switched on the christmas lights (well grow lights)

Potted on some more chitted broad beans. Planted out the overwintered b beans into the patch as they were getting too big. I wonder whether the chitted ones will catch up their overwintered brothers. Time will tell.

Hiya Jen

I overwintered some for last year and when I planted them out I also sowed some direct, I didn't see any difference.

So this year I said I would only sow direct and here I am with 50 odd sitting in toilet rolls in the back yard!!

Filled some pots and brought them into the warm ready for pricking out aubergines this afternoon.

Popped over to friends who are setting up a food truck for a trial run lunch and just made it home five minutes before the 6pm curfew

Pricked out delphiniums. Rearranged and improved the chilli grow supports. Tidied a bit more of the chilli tunnel. Planted a side shoot from a red hot poker.
