        Once again things went pear shaped yesterday and I had very little time. I did manage to sow one bucket of carrots (nearly a month late) as I have given up waiting for frost to disappear from the forecast. Harvested some PSB.

        • I’ve had little time for gardening too,I need to pot on the last 30 or so tomatoes,they’re really big in their cell tray,I could be doing it now loads of things to do -
          mow the lawns front & back
          plant seed potatoes
          pot on tomatoes
          water everything
          sow seeds this month;-
          cucumber,lettuce,sweetcorn,parsnip,squash,peas,runner beans,courgette,spinach,nasturtium & sunflowers.
          We’ve had five seconds of rain today & it’s sunny,I might water my garlic & onions with some seaweed fertiliser,they’ll enjoy that

            Work has gone crazy at the moment. I thought I was getting a day off yesterday but things went pear shaped at about 7am and that was it for gardening.

            Trying to catch up with essentials today and then my horse got colic. Thankfully he seems ok now, but once again gardening got shelved.

              • Hope to get the last two beds topped with compost. May have to turn the latest batch of hot compost too, it's a third bigger than normal and after just two days has already hit 70 degrees.
