Emptied 2 x 30ltr buckets of last year's Hotbin compost into the new courgette and bean bed. I'll be growing the courgettes in 5 tiers of a wormery so they're like 5 x square foot beds.
Cut some chard from GH1 for dehydrating and dug up the roots. Replanted them in the random garden near the gooseberries and blueberries.
Sown about 60 vintage courgette seeds.
Planted 3 Beth Alpha cucumber plants in a tub in GH1.
Gave the chickens a holiday by putting them in the old pond cage. Its fully netted so they're safe and they enjoyed pecking around somewhere new. They're not tempted by the pond so the tadpoles weren't in danger.
Did some mindless pruning of fruit bushes and trees.
Marvelled at the quince and pear tree - both parts of which are flowering for the first time. Wonder whether they'll fruit this year? The quince part is the rootstock - its meant to be a pear tree.
