and it was, it really was. The sun shone all day and at one stage I had to take my fleece off !
Decided to have a good old dig and ended up digging out the kerb stones that are supposed to be keeping the shed base in place and raising them a few inches so that the soil stops spreading all over the slabs, and that was BEFORE the trip to B&Q.
Got a few bags of manure and planted Debs Delight Brighton rhubarb, a specialist variety - origin unknown.
Slung another bag over the Jerusalem Artichokes and spread the rest round my blackcurrant "sticks".
My Twinkle peas have been flopping over in the g/h for a while now, so I took a chance and planted them out. Surrounded them with fleece after this pic, which I've weighted down with bricks, so I hope they survive both the meeces and the cold. Got some more in reserve, just in case.
Sowed some Aubergine Calliope, Carrot Parmex, Gardener's Delight, Peas Meteor and Tomato Black Cherry. Top tip: the plastic carton's that "bargain" tomatoes come in, 3 fit nicely into a standard seed tray !
Will finished off tomorrow. Got a party to go to. :0)
