2026 - What I did today.

Planted out the autumn sown sweet peas, tied them in and gave them a mulch of grass clippings. Hopefully the pigeons will ignore them!
Did some light pruning now things have leafed up and it's easier to see any dead stems.

Fishing then archery!

My laptop gave up the ghost this morning. Its been playing up for a week or so. I'm using an older machine now, which is OK but doesn't have all my passwords etc, so I've had to play about with those. Eventually, did a bit of research and have ordered a new one to be delivered on Saturday. Haven't done anything outdoors

Filled another 44 pots. Now warming in the tunnel, ready for tomatoes to be potted on.

Started digging out a ditch/ path in the cottage garden. Rain stopped play at lunch time.

Potted on basil and some tomatoes.

Pricked out far too many tomatoes. I haven't the heart to cull any but the real runts. Where I've got several of the same variety, I've started an experiment (which will probably get forgotten) where they are transplanted into either old compost, new homemade compost or Lidl compost. Knowing tomatoes, which seem to grow anywhere, they'll be no difference.

Potted on all the flower seedlings and a few more tomatoes. Bob has recently upgraded the bearings on the spinny thing. So today I repositioned the pot holder and re attached it     

Separated and potted on all the tomatoes.
Potted on snapdragons.
Sowed more cosmos.
