        The fruit cage frame that I ordered at the weekend arrived (the old one got broken in the wind last year). This one is bigger and is intended to stay up all year, possibly with bird netting round the sides to keep the cat off that part of the garden.

        Plant cauliflowers when arrive
        Construct new fruit cage frame
        Harvest carrots, PSB

                      • 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)

                        • Hope there is cake and biscuits
                          I get carried away too but finding I'm later this yr and things haven't germinated great.

                          Think i will sow some flower seeds and more salads , spring onions etc. Just had a frost again this morning.

                          • Sow more tomatoes, clear up the cat poo from my raised beds (a never ending task)
                            Mark out space to plant my potted cherry tree into ground as it’s never been happy.
                            sort out seeds.
