What I did today 2026

JoaoLeaftide Thank you! Containergardener I'll take every drop please! Nicos talk about being daft! My neighbour told me today, you did that the last time we set one up! My response, then you should have reminded me! I love my neighbour

This morning I pricked and potted tenderette and early psb, April spring cabbages, tom thumb lettuces and assorted sunflowers.

Tonight I rescued a hawthorn mining bee from a water filled tub trug and held him on a pyracantha flowerhead in the evening sunshine until he flew away.

Played pass the parcel/pot/plant. Moved the pepper and one of the chillis into 12" pots, moved a basil plant into a 10" pot and a courgette seedling into an 8" pot.

Finally got round to thinning the apples on my young Braeburn today, always feels brutal removing perfectly good fruitlets but the tree will thank me for it later. Also noticed the first signs of blackfly on the broad beans, got there just before they really took hold.
