  • Went to work. Person due on next shift phoned in sick. Contacted Manager. Ended up working a nine hour shift. Then found that I have no work in 3 weeks. Totally p***** off and wondering why I bother.

      yes I have the same problem...I don't mind the wet and cold too much if well wrapped up, but the two 7 year olds, and 4 year old not so keen!
      lets hope its better next week.
      Gardening forever, housework whenever!

      • Potted on a few squashes/courgettes, rudbeckia into individual cells, and sowed a few cells of nigella and Bo Jangle Marigold. I also put a lot of stuff in the cloche and then refilled my window sills with various toms and chillis.

        • Looked out the window at the rain, then switched on the pc! Maybe it will dry up a bit later

              • Potted on my 3rd of January sown Cayenne chillies into 5" pots. Dibbed out my Black Cherry toms into 3" pots. Sowed a dozen more Salmon flowered peas - suddenly thought I might not have enough!
                Did some more weaving on my very first basket but had to stop as my Brown willow isn't soaked enough. Will do more on Friday!

                • Sowed all my tom varieties, butternut squash, beets, mangetout, spring onions and perpetual spinach into modules and put into the green house in my conservatory.

                  Yes I have a green house in my conservatory, but only temporary so my dog does not eat all my seedlings !!!

                  • Started construction of some wooden frames to edge the beds I am planning. Bought all the timber, but forgot the nails!

                    Planted out shallots and artichokes.

                    • To be perfectly honest, I could have done without my Early, Mid and Late Leeks deciding to germinate so sporadically, but hey! so I sowed some more seeds in modules today, just to ensure that I have zillions rather than nillions.

                      • I went up to the allotment with some garlic that had been sitting in modules for ages and making me feel guilty every time I looked at them. I planted them out and some onions that I hadn't finished last time.
                        I was the only one up there as it was VERY windy, cold and wet but dressed like Scott of the Antarctic I kept going and weeded the parsley bed ( and felt very virtuous as I came home to thaw out)

                          • Dug over new 4x4 ft bed for her indoors.
                            Found most of my direst sown seedlings dying following thunderstorm+ cloudburst that has flattened them totally.

                            • Marvelled at my garlics sprouting and half-fixed the zip on the cr@ppy plastic greenhouse which has been broken since we got it. Also got grumpy at my other half, who has lost the receipt...
