Who knows what the coming week will bring. If the wind dies down I'll be assisting with glazing. If not the list is:
Continue planting out bedding
Sow beetroot in modules and other seeds for new gh, when I decide what. Paul is concerned that if the frame stays bare too long there will be beans climbing up it!
Thin out turnips - maybe
Tidy strawberries now they're over
Pick beans of various sorts, cucumbers, raspberries, carrot thinnings, baby beet, chard
Tomatoes - tie in, armpit, feed, etc
