    Good Day

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I have to tell someone. Today I've not just had a good day on the lottie I've had a great day. For the first time in what seems like weeks the weather, here in Edingley, has been dry and reasonably warm. At last I've been able to spend a whole day on the plot getting some serious bed digging work done.

    I appreciate that some folk might think a day spent weilding the spade and fork is hell but today I was in heaven. Tomorrow will be hell when the stiff aching back kicks in but for now I'm as happy as Larry. (Whoever Larry is).
    It is the doom of man, that they forget.

      Me too! I had a good 4 hours on the lottie, in the sunshine. (stiff easterly wind though). My 'tame' blackbird was helping me turn over the soil. I managed to sow scozonera, limnanthes, radish, leek and california poppies. Lovely

        I got tall climbing peas and sugar pods in yesterday - and potted up lots of flowery things too. Lovely to work in the sun!
        I got a packet of california poppies free with a recent order Two Sheds. I'm intending to use them in the spaces created by growing beans on wigwams. Lots of little corner bits free! I love them because our daughter used to grow them as a child. Really trouble free and so cheerful. (The flowers AND her!)

          It was a lovely morning, warm and sunny: 11 degrees at 9am already. I sowed sweetcorn and squash in the greenhouse; planted out more Broadies, carrots and Feltham First peas in the rain which lashed down at 3pm

            It was a mixture of sun and heavy showers but I managed to get a lot done outside when the sun shone, and a lot done in the greenhouse when it pee'd down!

            So all in all it was a GOOD DAY!

              I got back to the plot after a 5 week absence and it was lovely even though I only had less than an hour. It was as lovely spring evening, there were lots of folks there (very unusual) and not only did I get satisfaction seeing the plot wasn't totally gone to the dogs, but I got to get my hands dirty planting spuds and then harvest some PSB, cabbage and lettuce thinnings (for todays lunch, but already half eaten on the desk!!).
