		Post your list of gardening jobs you intend to do next week (last week of May). 
Tell us what you intend to do and report back next weekend on what you've actually done - and what you'll be doing the following week.  
The week starts on Mondays and ends on Sunday night, with planning for the following week.
 
You didn't think I'll let you off without some sort of challenge, did you?

		That’s worse than the OH. She has a list I can ignore, you make me write a list I can’t possibly achieve then guilt me into doing it. Geez C that’s proper dark arts. ?

		No, no, Mikey. The secret of writing a Jobs list is to only list the things you know you will do. No point saying you'll knit an apple tree if you can't cast on a few stitches. Better to say you'll armpit the tomatoes which is simple and undemanding.

		Yeah that’s what she says, it’s an aspirational list, it doesn’t have to be done all at once, but the minute you accept it’s existence the Venus flies trap closes. Ha ha ha. I can’t cackle!!    
I have a sheet of invisible paper and a marker pen. I promise not to write on it, I promise not to mess it up and to not hide it. It will remain on show all week and I’ll check it everyday and make sure there’s still nothing on it. Phew, I feel better now, it’ll be hard but, I’ll do me best.    
   
Oh by the way I can’t knit an apple tree but my sister does do cacti.

		When I had an allotment the hose spray head was my thumb, no one could nick it.

		I have given up planing, prefer to take a dynamic approach, that way I dont feel disapointed if I dont do what I planned.

Are you a sander then, it requires a more dynamic stance.
