  • Forecast to rain for most of the day here, after raining all night, so it will be far too wet to do anything outside. I need to pot up some lettuce seedlings.

              I like lists. I have lists of what to plant when, what to plant where, what needs doing, what seeds to buy...

              The only problem is that sometimes I forget where I put a particular list and have to make another (I blame getting old!)

                Harvest kohlrabi - no, but harvested 2 small peppers from overwintered plants on the windowsill (!)

                Also did some weeding, rearranged the buckets of potatoes so they get more sun and attempted to plan which flowers I want to grow and where.

                  You'll need a note to remind you where you put your lists
