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!

Ok then I'll play, but don't hold me to it.
Sow a second bed of carrots after adding horticultural sand if possible.
Plant leeks in previously prepared bed
Sow French Beans+climbing French Beans in greenhouse
Plant up tomatoes in large pots in greenhouse
Plant up peppers in final pots on greenhouse staging
Plant up 2 cucumbers indoors and one outdoors
Prepare area for climbing beans
Plant runner beans outdoors after hardening off in cold frame
Plant courgettes outdoors
Plant Butternnut squash outdoors
Plant out cabbage and caulis when a bit bigger
Thin out kale and calabrese to leave a couple at each station
Sow more kale outdoors
Plant some late tattie tubers.
Empty compost dalek
Carry on hoe-ing
Cover red and white currant bushes with netting.
That'll do for now.

Edit Reason: Update

Back to proper gardening next week rather than excavating, so the rather fluid plan could be.
Put up the second row of bean sticks - this is assuming the first row gets completed on Sunday. DONE
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 DONE
Cut down a poor clematis that's developed wilt. DONE
Plant out the greenhouse with tom's and cucs

Wow Vinny.....
8 hours exactly of the 5th, proper hardcore conviction.
A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.

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.
