More shenanigans today.
I finally got my tomatoes planted in their final pots. To do this I emptied the pots of last years compost and piled it up on the path. I then dug into my compost heap and accumulated some of the well rotted stufff from the bottom. 
Individually I put home meade compost in the bottom third of each pot, followed by a third of old compost (mixed both together with my hands) then topped up the last third with new fresh compost. I added a handfull of BFB to each pot for good measure.
After planting various tomaoes in position, (Craigella,cherry red,cherry yellow, Black Russian,Gardeners Delight and Moneymaker) I flooded each pot with water to soak through the old dry compost.
That completed I still had a bt energy left so I sowed a row of lettuce, thinned out my kale plants then watered all stuff that needed it.
I finished the 4 hours I was at the plot by hand weeding some of the creeping buttercup from the path and finally by collecting a bucket of strawberries. Strawberries are fantastic this year and are well worth the space alloted to them.
