    Weekend jobs

    At my friend's
    Plant onion sets (might wait until next week) - no
    Weeding - done a little

    At allotment
    Weeding - done some
    Trim more long grass if possible - no
    Harvest parsnip and possibly a few spinach leaves - done parsnip plus some PSB

    Also took spinach and beetroot seedlings to the allotment and put under cover on the hotbed as they were getting too big for their modules and needed planting out. The spinach didn't seem to mind and was planted in the hotbed on Sunday but the beetroot has keeled over and doesn't look happy. The temperature in the hotbed is about 10 degrees, the air temperature outside fell to -1 over night. If you don't try, you don't learn.

    At home
    Pot up chitted tomato seeds - done
    Put french beans to chit - done
    Weeding - done some
    Check greenhouse plants and water if required - done
    Harvest carrots - done

    Also removed TEN piles of cat poo from on top of perennial plants, the path and under a scratchy piece of plastic mesh that I thought would be a deterrent. I can't cover the whole garden with plastic sheet!
    Sowed some replacement spinach and beetroot.

    I did manage to sow a 2nd batch of Meteor peas yesterday, but that was all.

    No gardening time today, and I would probably need a snorkel anyway.

    Tuesday jobs
    Make cover for 2nd hotbed - done
    Sow tomatoes and lettuce to replace ones eaten by slugs - done
    Try to make a cover for apricot tree (flowering) - done
    Weeding - done some
    Harvest carrots - no, but did harvest some forced rhubarb.

    The weather today is comprehensively dreadful and all I will be able to do is check that the covers over the hotbeds are still in place when it stops raining.

    Continue weeding hotbed - done some

    Friday jobs
    The main job today is to attempt to make a better cover for the hotbed, which is currently covered by a sheet of plastic over hoops, trapped between the layers of wood that make up the sides of the raised bed. This is very awkward to access.
    My idea is to get 2 pieces of wood the length of the bed and roll the edges of the plastic round them and nail it on, then fix spring clips to the wood at one side to clip round the hoops. Hopefully that will be easier to open, won't blow away and can be removed and rolled up to store over summer.
    I have got the wood etc, so this is going to test my dodgy DIY skills to the limit.
