I've chopped down all the brown in the flower bed this morning and feel the need to move phlox, crocosmia, pinks and day lillies to better places so they're not so intermingled. I've resolved to sow beans, peas, courgettes and corn in two batches to extend the growing season. I've found several bags of 2 yr old shreddings/leaves which have formed lovely mulch which will go into the borders of gh2 when I remove the toms  to improve the soil.
There that's a start Smile

Not growing quite so many varieties of beans, stick to  CFB Hunter, Fasold for early ones and one other probably  Lidls, perhaps with drying beans up elsewhere to plant and forget. Bijou MT and maybe some Sugar Bon or Oregon Sugar Pod. Stagger sowing of cucs and not grow so many. Try to convince P to let me have the old climbing frame for a tromba growing frame, at present it's at the top of the garden and he sits on the top of it in the sun to catch his breath and cool off after grass cutting. Might not succeed there [Image: smile.png]

Try and put some thought into the flower border, at present it's very haphazard, but I'm useless at it, so might fail.

Failed miserably with the flower border, didn't move a thing!  It's still very haphazard and likely to stay that way.
I've been fairly reserved in the number of beans in my first batch of sowing,  leaving room for a second wave, but no way as reserved as I had planned.
MT are in the ground and climbing.
Semi reserved in cuc/courgette/squash sowing.  With night temps as they are ATM they might all get frosted.  Only one early courg plant is big and in sore need of potting on,  the rest still have baby leaves, although I still have the feeling I've grown too many.
I'm still dithering about sweetcorn, which variety to sow earliest, I've still got time to decide, Picasso and Swift co-existed well last year and trying to figure which one to sow first to make the longest season is perplexing me. Do I sow the earliest first, or second? Help needed here perhaps
The bags of leaf mulch are still sitting where they were plonked. The gh border got kitchen waste compost instead. I might use them for mulching after planting.
I got possession of the climbing frame and it's in position ready for trombas. P will have to find himself a different resting place, there's always the ground Big Grin

So all in all not too bad.
Gardening is an excuse not to do housework
