My lovely ‘Man wot does’ came and cut the grass today. I dug oit the leaf mould bin and fed the cockchafer grubs to the chickens, they rewarded me with three eggs! Then I cleared a lot of nettles and made Nettle ‘soup’ for plant food.

Its been a lovely sunny day, I even took my jumper off, luckily I had a vest on Smile Started to dig the other end of the lower patch to get it ready for carrots and kale. These two go together notwithstanding crop rotation because they both get netted against insects and birds and go under one length of environmesh. Finished planting the broad bean plants, the mice didn't get that many. Set out some Sturon onion sets. Must venture out after tea to put the babies in the gh to bed under fleece, we're forecast another cold night and im resisting putting heat on unless really necessary..

Sunshiny day, perfect to spend in the garden.
Pruned some fruit bushes, raspberries and apple trees.
Hunted for broken terracotta pots for someone on the Freebie site who wants to make "little tower gardens and mosaics" in a community garden. Another excuse for getting rid of clutter.
The DFBs I planted out yesterday seem to have survived the cold last night. Hope they get through tonight too.

Filled my blueberry beds with ericaceous compost see my fruit framed thread for details.
Watered and fed my cabbage, kale, tomato and flowers modules.
Watered my chilli seedlings n the bedroom, turned off the heating on the propagator tray as I have the lids off them now and the compost is drying out rapidly. I hope the chilli seedlings are ok now.
