2021 - What I did today

Sorted out pots, trays, etc. into what I need this year and what can be filed! Probably like most of you I have far too many!

Final sort of the seed swop bits, will be posted tomorrow

Took food scraps to the plot, topped up dalek with these along with cardboard/paper shreddings

Checked my chitting parsnips, some have sprouted, how exciting Will sow/plant tomorrow.

Cleared all the seed trays and seedlings out of the bedroom and into the GH - and potted up the best of them.
Emptied all pots into the "old compost bucket" for topping up plants.
Brought the tomato and cucumber seedlings back into the house - kitchen not bedroom!!
Raked a few more paths & beds of dead leaves, pulled up uncovered weeds and grass and piled them into heaps on the paths to die off.

Spotted the first bluebells of the year.

Sown more pre-parsnips, then went in my nice sun warmed GH to pot on brassicas, back out to weed and removes ratty chard and brassica leaves.

- Went into town for 2nd covid jab and prescription. While there I popped into Wilko, came out with a Raspberry Fallgold and Gooseberry Invicta, as you do!
- Planted out 8 chitted parsnips
- Popped the seed swap thingy in the post, hope it's ok.

After an absolutely dreadful morning where everything that could go wrong did, I managed to spend a couple of hours in the garden/greenhouse.
Sowed some DFB, planted out some Bijou mangetout. Had to water some new plantings as we've not had rain for ages.

Pricked out some gherkin plants and potted them, back onto window sill. Planted some lettuce plants outside watered and fed all plants in the tunnel. A lot of seeds & seedlings in modules all doing well, radishes ready for planting outside tomorrow, maybe even swedes

Pricked out, salvias, potted on tomatoes, aubergines, peppers and a couple of chillies. Sowed some runners for giveaways.

Watered some containers (very pleased with how much rain my shed guttering is collecting!), built a fancy aluminium pea frame, put a load of stuff in the relocated compost bin, including the last of the sievings from last year's batch. Hopefully the bin will get going as the weather starts to warm up at last!

Moved seedlings around from GH to cold frame then potted on aubergines.

Nothing garden related except uncovering the tenders. Got the go ahead from next door elderlies to get internet arranged and a computer ordered for them. The fun will start when I have to teach them what to do with it. It will be 'the blind leading the blind's. Interesting times.
