RE: 2022 - What I did today - Mark_Riga - 29-03-2022
Sunday grafted my tomatoes onto a bought rootstock and also some onto roma vf to see how they cope with greenhouse soil not in the best of health. Then planted out 200 onions hopefully that should be enough.
Yesterday mowed the grass used for mulching round some shrubs.
Today repaired the frame of the fruit cage - still to put its roof back but will wait a little longer in case of late snow.

A quick hour at the plot today, weather not that great.
I had a pile of brassica plants I'd cut off a few months back so I chopped these ready for the compost bins.
I'd cut the kale back to about 4 inches and was planning pulling them today but they are producing crop again so will leave them for now, depending on space requirements may leave them for the whole season.
Cut back the perennial kale and broc/colly, I'm planning on moving these to dedicated beds next week.
Picked the last of the leeks, wasn't that impressed, will hopefully do better this year

Finished off puting up a micromesh tunnel, just got it finished when it started snowing, which fortunately didn't last
RE: 2022 - What I did today - Veggie - 30-03-2022
Weeded and planted out 5 pots of Dianthus that were yellow stickered in Morries last year. Planted them in the blue/pink/purple bed across the path from the yellow/orange/red bed. Only saying that to make you think that there is some method in my garden madness!
Mooched around outside until the rain came.

Arrived home from work around half nine to snow on the ground. I have taken a thick bath towel out to the greenhouse to cover my seedlings. I hope that's enough.

Potted on my Cayenne and Corno di Toro peppers. Also potted on a few more tomatoes (Green Zebra, Auntie Madge's, Brad's Atomic Grape and Matt's Hornet).
Took cuttings of the overwintered lemon verbena, blackcurrant sage and a white surfinia petunia.

Tidy up day. Will need to get wheelbarrow out and take this lot away (privet hedge roots dug out over last two days) to somewhwere where it will dry out for burning.

Dashed between the downpours to re-erect the little tunnel, shut down the greenhouse and chuck some fleece over the dahlias and deal with the banana.
Put support around the first sowing of broad beans which are just tall enough to get blown over now. There are a few tiny beans setting, a load of ladybirds and no blackfly.

General tidy of the plot during two visits, dodged the snow/sleet the 2nd time
Filled one dalek with greens/browns...
Started filling another with leaves. I plan to have 2 filled with leaves which will leave me 1 to use during the season.
Pilled weeds, crap, etc into the rubbish pallet box thingy to rot down.
Took a couple more heel cuttings of each perennial kale, popped 1 each into dedicated pallet collar beds and took the other 2 home to pop into water, just in case.
