      • Tomorrow I'm going to my old allotment site to show my face at the pumpkin competition. I aint got a pumpkin but it will be nice to see a few of the plotholders.

        While I am there I will harvest my shallots, leeks,and my tatties,dig up blackcurrants,redcurrants ,whirtecurrants and gooseberries plus tayberry if I can find it under the weeds. All to be planted at my new plot. Garden tools including my logging axe will also need to be picked up. I want to utilise two collapsible tables in my new greenhouse but I won't have space in car on this journey.

          Weekend jobs
          Looking outside (snowing) and at the radar, I don't think I am going to get much done today. Tomorrow also looks showery so the weekend might be a write-off.

          At my friend's
          Feed slugs to chickens
          Fill self watering pots in greenhouse
          Remove any finished tomato plants
          Weeding if possible
          Harvest tomatoes, peppers

          At home
          Check stored onions, tomatoes and potatoes and freeze any that need using
          Clear snow from nets if necessary (settling at present)
          Deadheading and weeding if possible
          Harvest carrots, tomatoes

          At allotment
          Clear snow from tunnel and nets if necessary
          Collect leaves
          Weeding
          Harvest lettuce, cucumber, calabrese, tomatoes if any

                      • Over the next 3days....
                        Deadheading seedheads to put to one side.
                        Then attacking the borders with secateurs, rake and loppers.
                        Maybe some shredding....
                        No doubt there will be a huuuge pile of leaves needing collecting at some point too

                          • Things I intend to do that won't necessarily get done are:-


                            Find a spot and plant my Jerusalem Artichokes.

                            Plant a single potted raspberry I bought cheaply. Go back to Morrisons and see what has been yellow stickered and see if I can get any more for pennies.


                            Check my seed box and see what I need for next year. Check at B&Q to see if the seeds at half price are worth buying.


                            Dig up some raspberries already on the plot and replant them with my single raspberry plant in new position.


                            Dig up some mint from the plot and bring it home for my herb garden.


                            Try and make a base for my IBC container and shift it if possible.


                            Harvest some Yacon.


                            Check my onion sets haven't been pulled out by the birds and if so replace them.


                            Procure a bag of 6X farmyard manure.

                              • Today;
                                Clean rest of carpets (the ones in the house, not the ones I have dug out of the allotment).
                                Weeding at home.
                                Tomorrow:
                                Strim plot edges and dig out some more carpet.
                                Measure up for new raised beds which will be going in once the carpet is all out.
