        • Today I just need to water everything in the blowaways,the plants outside had good rain yesterday & earlier today. I might add seaweed fertiliser,there’s a low of 9 here tonight,I will bring in some of the tomato plants that are in 3” pots on the patio,some are sheltered next to the house tho,they can stay out there. I might put a cover of net curtain around my cucumber I planted out the other day,worried it’s small & will get cold. There’s some cold nights of seven degrees coming,I’ve stopped planting out for the moment.

            Done,used the seaweed fertiliser also I watered all my potatoes with it in containers. Even though we’ve had days of rain & really heavy yesterday,the bags were light to pick up,the haulms really are umbrellas

                Yesterday I had workmen in and wasn't sure I would have any gardening time. As it happened they finished early and I put up the net over the cherry and blueberries, did a load of deadheading and trimmed some of the grass edges. Harvested the first couple of pods of Meteor peas.

                No gardening time today.
