2 parties for twin 2 this weekend, none for twin one

My problem is, Mondays come around too quickly

If it's dry...
1. Cut the grass

Irrelevant of weather:
1. Pull & pickle beetroot
2. Order garlic
3. Pick tomatoes
4. Start to make room in greenhouse to store Jack & Harry (lemon & lime trees)
5. Put patio furniture away
6. Chop wood
7. Make paper logs


...and then on Saturday afternoon, I'll start the next list!

Ooh this is good. My to do list:

1. Weeding (never ends)
2. Collect fallen apples, prepare damaged for freezing and store good ones
3. Turn over soil in borders
4. General tidy up (whilst entertaining two young children)
5. Check allotment, spinach seeds planted and fruit bushes moved.

All go eh?

That reminds me... need to check with the neighbour if he's picked up the cider press, in which case I know what I'm doing the rest of Saturday.

My saturdays plan is

pot up the new strawberry runners
Dig up last (hopefully) of the raspberry runnners and re pot.
Cut the grass
Tine., fill the lawn with lawn dressing and over seed.
Spend too long trying to pinch out new growth on my tomatoes
turn the compost heap.
Empty last bag of Spuds
Feedround and tidy up some leaves.

Then spend an hour or so with a cup/s of tea surveying my kingdom/plotting for next year.


I use to do a hel of a lot of weeding ...but I invested in weed suppressing fabric from the local unit of currency store and now I very rarely spend time pulling up anything that has escaped

Work as always, got a few hundred Fuchsia cutting to finish.

Have you all planted Spring bulbs yet?

Hope I haven't left it too late for daffs!

Lifted onions today, weeded nettles from around the leeks, cut the grass. Picked blackberries from the hedge, picked apples, picked up windfalls. Also cut most of the corn cobs, and found a gigantic courgette which the chickens can have, sliced into thick discs... note to self, grow ONLY yellow ones in future, so much easier to see (and I think they taste better). I doubt that plant will produce any more but it can stay in for now, just in case.

Next weekend: lift beetroot, pick the rest of the courgettes - will try to get them before the frost forecast for Thursday morning. Plait onions, sow broad beans, keep up with the apples. If it's dry I must slap cuprinol on the chicken shed, fence and gate, as I've intended to do every weekend since April.

See if shredded bark is on offer at any of the garden centres to spread in front of the chicken shed, and in the field gateway. Get bulbs. Drill holes in wooden half-barrels BEFORE planting bulbs as last year I didn't, and they all drowned. Get an incinerator. Put membrane over patch earmarked for greenhouse and currently covered in nettles, thistles and mallow. Spray docks.

Work on Sunday, early night on Friday with all this to do!
