must upload some photos!

well, we’ve done a fair bit of weeding, and got the ground ready for the strawberry plants that arrived. To rainy this weekend, as they would have been very muddied!

I have started the summer grape-vine pruning. its quite diffiuclt as its not really been trained into a system, so am going to softly softly organise it a bit. COncentrating on identifying flowering shoots at the mo!

much potting on has also gone on - but way behind my planting out and seed sowing schedule.

Work is being a nightmare, and sapping much time and energy - so more frantic than usual I think!

I should have managed to do more today really!

I did, however, get the mangetout into the ground, with a very Heath-Robinson affair for them to grow up! Also, we have the first 3 spears of asparagus appearing!

mostly I dod lots of weeding and hoeing outside. One of the Minarettes has done absolutely nothing, so I will be asking Ken Muir for refund/replacement . All but one of the others has flowers though.

In the greenhouse i did lots of watering, got some seeds ready to sow [but didn’t] and got some toms ready to pot up [but didn’t]. Must do better! i have done a lot of playing with the girls though. I have enjoyed playing with the mosaic tool on flickr tool this evening!

we have had a hectic life recently, and as usual the garden suffered a bit! did a quick photo take of where we are at though! [and no, the potatoes still aren’t planted]
