                • Did more weeding. Planted out the remaining onion sets. Sowed broad beans (Sutton and Crimson Flowered) and peas (Meteor, Kelvedon Wonder and Petit Provencal).

                  The willow cuttings I put in a couple of weeks back are showing signs of having taken and are now producing leaves.

                        • Earthed up potatoes, did some watering, and started extending one of my allotment beds (I marked the area out and stripped the turf).

                          • My runner and climbing beans are germinating in their fibre pots on the windowsill. I will have to get some bamboo poles to grow them up. In the beds, something has finally appeared above ground apart from the radishes: a few of my 'Salad Blue' spuds have appeared, though none of the 'Pink Fir Apple' so far. It's a notoriously slow chitter, so it's probably slow to appear above ground as well. I think all my onions, planted out a few weeks ago, are dead.
                            My compost heaps were showing no sign of heating up, probably because the material was too coarse. They had both sunk, so this morning I combined them in one bin, shredding everything by hand, which was tedious and took some time, but everything is now much more finely shredded. Bunged in a couple of spadefuls of soil to get the bacteria off to a head start.

                            • Cleared up four huge bags of duck muck that had been ripped open by a fox and mixed it into the compost... which is what I should have done yesterday.

                              • Transported 30 seven foot long bamboo canes for my runner beans home from Wilko on my 'Elephant bike'. NOT RECOMMENDED, as I had to pedal bow-legged, and they made the bike even longer than usual, but at least I did it without an infernal congestion engine!
