Sowed some ancient turnip seeds in the hope of some micro greens. Frittered the rest of the day, apart from the weekly shop and clean down of the shopping.

It was so cold here today I couldn't do much outside. Potted up more sweet pea seeds...presprouted in tubs. I've put them on a shelf in the greenhouse- so hoping the mice won't get them Sad

No mice today.

Planted a heap of shallots that have been lying around since received last year - don't blame me, I didn't expect to receive double the quantity I ordered. Wink
I took great care about selecting a suitable bed for them and prepared the ground well.....................in other words, I spotted a bareish patch of ground, scraped off all the fallen leaves, dug up the buttercups and poked the shallots in using the random spacing technique.
Flushed with allium enthusiasm, I dug up some Elephant garlic, separated the sprouting cloves and replanted them in another carefully chosen "bed" using the same technique as aforementioned.
Did a bit of weeding in the "pea" bed - that's where I grow them, I'm not incontinent.Big Grin

Started, but didn't finish, cleaning the outside of both greenhouses. Washed down all the glass with soapy water then noticed all the moss growing on the roof glazing bars, so picked out where I could, then it looks like I might have to wash the glass again. DUH, should've done the moss first Sad, no matter at least the outside green algae is gone.

It was a beautiful day here, but I wasn't able to get out into the garden until 2:30 because of indoor stuff (we've got builders in next week, have to get clear for them). Still, I got a good hour's digging done, getting weeds and roots out of my intended new lawn. Getting there, albeit slowly.

Got my 50sq.ft. of digging done for the day. It's full of couch and dock weeds but they will have to come out another day.

Dug up 2 bags of Montbretia and gave it away. Big Grin
Started cutting down last year's raspberry canes. Not a simple job as they're not in tidy rows but dotted around the garden.
Two small plum (I think) trees have suckered, throwing up very spiny sideshoots. The trees will have to be dug out and binned as they suckers are so much stronger than the original tree. Whatever the rootstock was, its only merit would be keeping out intruders.

Deglazed one of the greenhouses, and gave the frame a good clean. A lot of the glazing rubber had started to perish so replaced that.

I will re-glaze tomorrow, cleaning the glass as I go.
I am only the Boss because Veggie lets me be!

Not much in the garden just scrubbing the writing of last years plant labels. Found them hiding all over the garden.
