		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!

		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.
