Tidied the sweetcorn bed that was planted yesterday & subsequently dug up by some little @@@@@. Hopefully they will survive, will surround the bed with chicken wire tomorrow morning if it looks okay.
Installed the cfb's arch with some supporting chicken wire, well fudged rather than installedSmile

Put some chicken wire round the sweetcorn bed as the baby bunnies are doing the rounds digging wise!

I've done absolutely nothing in the garden today other than a bit of harvesting, and checking in on the tomatoes (drama queens) that I potted on tomorrow. They must've known I was ready to tut at them being droopy (drama queens), but they were all absolutely fine! LOL

I built another hardening off bench. It’s more of a new garden waiting room.

   

Yes that is a door and some off cuts from our milling. 

More potting on. Planted out a few more unhappy foxgloves. Moved everything out of the tunnel. Planted out some more beans.

Quick hour at the plot, planted out my runner beans, only about 60% germinatedSad so will also direct sow some.

Planted out the rest of the onions grown from seed.

Interesting. I wish I could do stuff tomorrow and check them today.

Daughter visited from Manchester with grandson and helped weeding/hoeing most of the veg garden and planting out last of the dahlias. Then we went for a walk. Grandson made scones and Irish soda bread with his gran.

haha well spotted Mark!! That made me laugh out loud and I have to be honest, it gives you a little insight into how my mind works (or not, as the case may be!!)

I've put a few more panes of glass into the greenhouse today, including one of the windows. I realised I'd put a pane of glass meant for the window somewhere else, and I only realised because it's taller, more square than the other ones. I'm pleased to have gotten a bit further with it.

Planted out:
10 x Borage
20 x Calendula
3 x spare Gigantes
2 x Cherry Falls tomatoes I picked up on clearance at B&Q for 50p each. Popped them into a large pot with some Dark Opal basil as I've run out of french marigolds
6 x Glowing Embers begonias in a big pot
3 x Bossa Nova begonias grown from seed in a pot
4 x blue Surfinia petunias grown from cuttings into a big pot by the back door so I can get their beautiful scent
1 x Tromboncino!

Potted up:
8 x lemon verbena cuttings
2 x blackcurrant sage cuttings
6 x Corno di Toro peppers
2 x Cayenne peppers

Sowed some more calendula and borage in modules

Pricked out the Appleblossom Snapdragon seedlings into larger modules giving me 40 plants which I'm very pleased with as I haven't had luck growing them previously

Mowed the lawn and spread around the clippings as a mulch around anything recently planted

Busy day!

Monday cleared the palm bed of more finished nigella & blue honeywort and planted out cosmos, dahlias & honesty. Mulched with stuff from the shreddings pile.
Cut back most of the weeds around the pond, just leaving a route for the grass snake to come and go safely. 

Yesterday at a client's (a gîte we took on last year) where we discovered that the flat weedy barbecue area we'd been just strimming actually had stones underneath 10cm of accumulated earth! More interesting it was the foundations of a solid square building with a circular inside, later filled and levelled with slate.  How curious! And a much nicer place to put table and chairs.
Has Anyone Seen the Plot?

Hautes-Pyrénées (65), France
