RE: Jobs for the coming week - Vinny - 23-05-2020

I think I'll take the 5th! Big Grin

RE: Jobs for the coming week - PyreneesPlot - 23-05-2020

My sow list is fixed, but everything else tends to be a rolling list!

My To Sow List is - beetroot, peas, red cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, parsnip (maybe), radish, turnips.

Plant Out List - more peppers & aubergines, chillies, kales, sprouts, basil, cabbage, broccoli, turnips, beetroot, cucumbers (maybe), French beans, melons (maybe).
Weed the Bank Bed which hasn't been touched yet this year thanks to two broods of blackbirds in the hedge along the side and a very flighty female who would not stay on the nest if I was around. May get done tomorrow after the rain today.
Strim grass paths in the potager.
Turn the compost heaps.
Plant up hanging baskets - spider plants and classic red pelargoniums as every year!

I think I need to make a list as it appears to be a responsible thing to do.
Now how do I hold a pen again.
