My sow list is fixed, but everything else tends to be a rolling list!

My To Sow List is - beetroot, peas, red cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, parsnip (maybe), radish, turnips.

Plant Out List - more peppers & aubergines, chillies, kales, sprouts, basil, cabbage, broccoli, turnips, beetroot, cucumbers (maybe), French beans, melons (maybe).
Weed the Bank Bed which hasn't been touched yet this year thanks to two broods of blackbirds in the hedge along the side and a very flighty female who would not stay on the nest if I was around. May get done tomorrow after the rain today.
Strim grass paths in the potager.
Turn the compost heaps.
Plant up hanging baskets - spider plants and classic red pelargoniums as every year!

Plant up first row with CFB. DONE
Bring out sweetcorn, maybe plant out depending on the weather DONE
Plant out bedding , or at least start
Pick strawberries DONE DAILY
Continue watering blueberries DONE
Plant out courgettes
Empty old tumbling tomato tubs refill with new compost and plant up
Dead head and reduce size of doronicum clumps 
Cut down faded lupin spears

Basically planting  out and watering..... I want some rain!
PLUS
Plant out lettuce DONE
Clear out shelf of shed where Js fluid has leaked - oh the smell  Sick  DONE
Cut down a poor clematis that's developed wilt. DONE
Plant out the greenhouse with tom's and cucs
Gardening is an excuse not to do housework

I think I need to make a list as it appears to be a responsible thing to do.
Now how do I hold a pen again.
Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes.
