I was getting on really well with this until lunchtime when I was watching TV and my Sky box died. It took the rest of the afternoon to sort out an engineer to set up a new system (Sky+ HD is obsolete now) which won't be until 15th July, then find out how to download and use the Sky Go app which stubbornly refused to work for a good 90 minutes.

Florence fennel, beans, cucumber, courgette and melons to greenhouse
Plant out tomatoes and courgette at allotment, flowers at home
Remove plastic cover from tomatoes (too tall now) and add supports

Put up fruit cage net - done
Watering - done
Harvest spinach, peas, strawberries. Check raspberries - done
Also moved the buckets of onions and planted out tomatoes under a cloche, and planted some beans in a pot near the arch as both were simply too big to leave any longer. The beans were supposed to go to the allotment, but as the last lot I planted there was simply a snail snack, I decided on a change of plan.
