Well a bit of disappointment this weekend, went to Wilkos to get my Blueberries and they didn't have any :-(

On the hugely plus side despite the best efforts of huge winds the green house stayed standing, lost a couple of the temporary plastic panes that I'd put in but that was it, so a huge relief there.

Got to see the garlic in daylight as well, it's coming on great guns so well happy with that, plus the frost we had last night will do them some good.

Got a couple of yards of digging done - cleared the carrots (useless) in the process.

Note to self - don't bother with carrots, too much wireworm here!

I bought said hoe, some compost, some flowering bulbs to plant in spring (can't remember the name) AND... Da Daaaa! a big bucket thing and some seed potatoes! I am so excited. I haven't grown anything edible before. I can't wait till next Saturday when I can plant them. I also planted the evergreen into the bed (removing two pelogariums to make room) and did more hoeing with my new tool. No more work to do till next Saturday as I'm at work till dark. Will spend the week reading my gardening books....

Went to the lottie today to plant out broad beans (Sutton) which have been sitting in cell trays in the greenhouse. Aquadulce (planted earlier) are looking good, as are the autumn planted onion sets (Radar) and garlic, although the supermarket garlic is looking better than the Solent Wight. Dug 4 leeks for tea tonight (potato and leek gratin) - must plant deeper next year as not much blanched stem. Lovely and tender, though. The rhubarb is just showing buds. Chives are starting to re-sprout,...

SUNDAY.
What I did yesterday: (having already swept patio and pruned everything the day before).

Dug over and weeded the front bed by hand. Topped the Pieris with ericacious compost. Potted new lavender. Potted nasturtium seeds (one in pot outdoors and one on windowsill) Repotted Cyclamen. Planted small heather in front bed. Repotted daisy plant (must find out its name).

Things to do:
Buy a hoe and continue to break up clayish bed. Dig out polywotsits...
