What I intend to do today or tomorrow number2

[MelanieSW]

Plan for Sunday is to prepare the potato bed and plant out a few early cos salad seedlings under cover.
Mid morning coffee on the plot with allotment neighbours.
And maybe a bit more indoors sowing (marrows, courgettes, pumpkins, or is that too early? I often get carried away)
