Bit of weeding but not much as have developed rsi in wrists, thumbs and elbows due to to much gardening finished making willow den for small humphs. Willow had been cut for quite a while but most looks ok so fingers crossed it grows....
-
Trowelled out chunk after chunk of brick, granite, concrete etc, along with lots of broken glass. Did some watering of the containers.

More digging.
Weeded around big blackcurrant. I need to mulch it, really, but I don't have anything I can use and can't really get hold of anything at the moment. I do have cardboard and sand. Maybe I could use those...

Playing with herbs today.
Sown some. Pricked out parsley curled, flat leaf parsley, basil & thyme.
Tidied the herb bed and mint pots.

Made a mesh screen door for the greenhouse so OH can leave the door open when it's hot. (She's shorter than the average Hobbit and can't reach the roof vents.) Planted some more radishes to replace the ones that died last week because OH can't reach the roof vents... Planted some Rocket. Washed what seems like 1 million plant pots. Finished making a raised border for herbs just outside the kitchen window. Enjoyed a snooze in the warm sunshine in the garden with just birds, bees, and hoverflies for company.

Bit of weeding and pulling bramble stumps out of a bit of rough ground, then covered in cardboard to suppress the rest. Made paper pots, sowed some kohl rabi, chard and spinach beet.

More digging.
Sowd some beetroot seeds.
Cleared the bottom of the bed I am currently digging, which had become a bit of a dumping ground. There was a big pile of couch grass and other grass roots, which I have stuffed tight into a thick black sack, and I hope it it all die over the coming months, then I can compost it.

Planted my potatoes out. Repotted some strawberries. Finally got enough motivation to start cleaning out the greenhouse.

Planted another 90 strawberry (Framberry) plants through Mypex. Used my new favourite tool, the wheel hoe, to make furrows for my neighbour's potatoes and to break up a patch for some garlic cloves he gave me in return. Sifted home-made compost to mix with sifted soil for potting mix. Burnt a load of prunings and bindweed roots.
