2026 - What I did today.

I actually got outside! I did a bit of 'hair transplanting ' of grass clumps. Digging them up from the veg patch and replanting them in a bare bit of ground where we've removed branches under a tree. Mixed some compost. Added chicken manure to a tayberry tub and a blackberry. It's a bit of an experiment where the fruit of the outside tayberry just got eaten by birds and mice, so I transplanted it into a huge tub in the fruit cage and replaced it with a thornless blackberry. Both are doing well. Put some rather manky saved broad beans to soak/chit, sowed some others in root trainers. Relocated onion seedling trays to the gh rather than the porch windowsill. I now have room in the porch, I wonder what I can sow (cue maniacal laughter and rubbing of hands accompanied by P's rolling eyes) Repotted a very poorly snail begonia. I've killed more snails than I've grown. I'm doing something wrong, I think the potting medium may be too dense, hence the remix of compost with extra perlite. Gathered armfuls of fallen twigs and branches from under trees. Not bad for an hours work before lunch.
