Everybody’s growing tromboncino!
I’d better get some seed and get sowing!

Yep, I've sowed some of them too Big Grin

Did most of the rest of the weekly sow list, then realised I'd missed all the flowers!
Moved most of the tender veg out of the house and into the blow-away. Moved the dahlias out of the GH, but no shoots yet Sad
Weeded spring greens and cleared more of the most aphidy bolting brassicas.

Filled 2 garden waste wheelie bins with Ivy and brambles, Viburnum, Snow berries, Eleagnus, Fuchsia and other muddled together shrubs that grow between GH 3 and the house next door. Should let more light into the GH and I can now clean the blocked gutter on the backside (the GH , not mine).
Stopped gardening minutes before a hail storm. Crazy weather.Big Grin

Potted on a couple more plants destined for the new garden. Pricked out some lupins & holly hocks.
Put up the latching post for my gate.

The ones that reached me all seem to be sprouting. I'm excited. Never grown mangetout before Smile

That's brilliant Pros, in the end all of mine sprouted too, it was just that some took longer than others. Mangetout are so much more satisfying than peas that have grubs in  Smile

Took the roof bars off the 3 joined GH frames. The plan now is to leave the "walls" in place and use them as supports for climbing things. The sides will need to be braced as the structure is a bit shaky as some of the nuts/bolts have sheared off.
The raspberries and a couple of grapevines will stay inside the structure and I'm sure I'll think of something else to bung in there.
Once again hail stopped play but its progress.

Spent the afternoon in the gh sowing and shuffling tenders, it's said to be chilly tonight.

Rain and snow stopped play so it was a catching up on the DIY day.
