2025 - What I did today

Yesterday I did some seed sowing, lots of pricking out and potting on.
Then this turned up  .
I’m now faced with the task of grading it all into something usable. 
To be mixed with what I already have for filling beds.
Gravel to be washed and used as paths.
Bigger stones for ditch filling 

Guess what I’m doing today

'Graded grains make finer flour soil'  says Homepride's Fred the flour grader.   As it was in 1965 you might be too young.  It's quite satisfying to sieve and be left with 'baby' soil but perhaps not in those quantities.

All toms are pricked out, now it's where to put them all. I'm sure I didn’t sow so many as usual but it sure doesn't look like it.

Sowed some tagetes.

Potted some Sunray begonia tubers saved from last year. Some of the ones I'd grown from seed looked dubious and I was going to chuck them, but I had a closer look on my way to the compost bin and noticed tiny pink shoots so they've had a reprieve.

Built a plastic greenhouse after my old one disintegrated earlier this year.

Weeding and pushing manure around at the allotment. Sowed some more flower seeds at home.

Potted on lettuce and broccoli.

Friday's for Flowers so I cleared a space and planted all the YS paperwhite narcissus I bought recently. Added some primroses that were lost in the undergrowth and three pots of possibly osteospermum that I was given on the local Free site.
Put a fence around some rhubarb plants to stop the dogs sitting on them!
Did some weeding in VP5.
Filled some modules with compost, ready for sowing DFB this evening.

7 years before I was even a twinkle in the old man’s eye 

As I predicted. I was grading, shovelling and mixing all day.
Skew helped     

Thats a good helper you have there SC

 I forget you're only a baby SC.  Fred was pensioned off in 2004, he'd been around a long time, so you may have met him.
