It’s raining non stop at the mo,I put a teepee up the other day for my runner bean plant from last year that’s regrown with two shoots. I’ve been hardening up this years runner beans & will plant them soon with the sweetcorn. I’ve planted seven tomato plants need to plant the rest & the sweet peppers. Plant out the courgettes,squash & the rest of the cucumbers,planted two so far. Plant out geraniums,petunias,cosmos. Prune the forsythia. Plant more potatoes,ten containers so far I don’t know if I have space. Sow more carrots,peas,lettuce,cucumbers & nasturtium. Thin the grapes,remove leaves shading the fruit. Thin plums & prune. Thin more apples,check the pears. Mow front & back lawns,the grass has seed heads,really long,weeding out the front & cut the seed heads off the nettle check if there’s any caterpillars.
