I’m now faced with the task of grading it all into something usable.
To be mixed with what I already have for filling beds.
Gravel to be washed and used as paths.
Bigger stones for ditch filling
Guess what I’m doing today
'Graded grains make finer flour soil' says Homepride's Fred the flour grader. As it was in 1965 you might be too young. It's quite satisfying to sieve and be left with 'baby' soil but perhaps not in those quantities.

All toms are pricked out, now it's where to put them all. I'm sure I didn’t sow so many as usual but it sure doesn't look like it.

Sowed some tagetes.
Potted some Sunray begonia tubers saved from last year. Some of the ones I'd grown from seed looked dubious and I was going to chuck them, but I had a closer look on my way to the compost bin and noticed tiny pink shoots so they've had a reprieve.
Built a plastic greenhouse after my old one disintegrated earlier this year.

Weeding and pushing manure around at the allotment. Sowed some more flower seeds at home.

Potted on lettuce and broccoli.

Friday's for Flowers so I cleared a space and planted all the YS paperwhite narcissus I bought recently. Added some primroses that were lost in the undergrowth and three pots of possibly osteospermum that I was given on the local Free site.
Put a fence around some rhubarb plants to stop the dogs sitting on them!
Did some weeding in VP5.
Filled some modules with compost, ready for sowing DFB this evening.
