Shifted more soil from driveway to garden. Maybe a tonne and a half left? It’ll be done by March.
Prepared potato bags, but now I realise I never put the potatoes into it...
Speed some peas, as my three year old was showing an interest. Hopefully he’ll remember and still be interested when they germinate.
Not a lot else. Bit of a damp weekend here.

Today I potted up 20 daffodil Rip van Winkle, approx 60+ tulips of various types, 40 Anemone blanda and 60 dwarf iris
All into pots as STOOPID ME had forgotten to put them into the ground in September/October

Now THAT sounds like something I'd do
Forecast is good all week for Northumberland so I'm aiming to do a LOT of catching up with jobs...including moving lord knows how much soil out of the dilapidated ex-polytunnel beds (2 x 4ft high 30ft beds) and spreading it onto the bottom section and raking it level.

Bought my Charlotte seed potatoes they're now sat in egg boxes near a bedroom window.

Sowed several varieties of herbs today.
Now in the heated propagator in the conservatory.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Not down anything yet but starting to think about maybe getting some onion seed up and running.

Potted on my Mammoth onion seedlings and put some Duke of York tatties in egg boxes to chit( I had actually bought all my seed tatties, but these were a bargain).

Potted on some sunflowers, popped to the plot and pulled back half the tarpaulin which has done a half decent job of killing the weeds off. Laid cardboard and recovered with tarpaulin. Can’t wait to get the manure and compost on the cardboard this weekend.
