Added some compost to the ground I cleared yesterday and planted out some golden and cylindra beetroot and some turnips, mulched some celery & aubergines with more compost and then topped the whole bed - carrots, parsnips, aubergines, cougettes, beets & turnips (what crop rotation??) with grass clippings.
Made more comfrey tea.
Supervised Mr PP cutting hedges.
Replanted two voled aubergine plants in the hope they may survive and grow some new roots in fresh compost. Dug out the galleries.
Has Anyone Seen the Plot?

Hautes-Pyrénées (65), France

Shuffled furniture around downstairs. After the floods we have damp therefore we are expecting the builders this month to strip off the plaster before we dry the brickwork out (oh joySmile)

Started on a list of jobs for my friends next visitSmileSmile

Loaded the car up with an enormous amount of junk for a trip to the dump early tomorrow morning. It's amazing how much 'stuff' (for stuff read rubbish) a retired electronics engineer can accumulate. All to make room for a chest freezer. Of course I don't mention the loft full of my stuff, which all very important, you understand. I believe I still have some of our boy's playschool paintings. He left home 15 yrs ago!

Posted off OH's Corona virus test.

Did weekly shop by visiting three shops.Impulse bought a squirrel ornament for he garden, reduced to £2.00 at B&M Rolleyes

Watered stuff in greenhouse and some of the outdoor stuff that was wilting a bit. All done from my 1000 litre IBC container fed from my shed roof. Harvested some courgettes,chillies and toms. Big Grin

Fired up the chainsaw at home and chopped up and stacked a pile of wood I had scrounged.  Sleepy

Hot weather tomorrow, so off fishing for trout! Cool

Usual early morning chores: fed the wild birds, walked the cat, checked on my seedlings.

Also:
  • potted up some lime balm and Vietnamese coriander that arrived last week and had been acclimatising to my garden
  • fed my tomatoes and Amoro squash - the latter has two fruit fattening up and four smaller ones on the way
  • watered sugar snaps and CFBs
  • put a few more odds'n'ends in my new shed
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!  Smile

Started clearing an overgrown patch - full of raspberries, vinca, brambles, bracken, hogweed, dock and various other seed scattering weeds.
Helped by my 3 pups and Mrs Chicken. Bess kept bringing windfall apples to throw for her to fetch, which was a bit of a distraction. When she realised I was ignoring her she did her best beg, under an overhanging branch of an apple tree and just stared at the apples, thinking I'd take pity on her...............but I didn't. Wink

Added to my random seed pot - not long now. Smile
