My Suttons Seeds plugs have all arrived - final delivery today. So that's 160 plants to pot. My 3 tomato plants weren't available, so I was sent a mixed variety of 6 plants - can't complain. I've had 3 or 4 plugs that hadn't sprouted, but they send 21 plugs per tray (order is 20) so I've not lost any overall (8 trays). I've so far planted 50 !

They have mainly gone into tubs and hanging baskets and will remain in the greenhouse for a little longer.

Looks like I might be lucky with the figs this year. I have two small bushes in my raised bed. One has 39 tiny figs on it and the other has 50! Fingers crossed but they seem to have got past the stage where in the past they have dropped off (probably due to adverse weather conditions). That was when they were planted in outside pots though. Moving them to the more sheltered raised bed was a good idea I think.

Thats not mundane., wind damage?

Self inflicted the corrugated panels have been up for over 10 years & have got brittle & cracked so I've bought some polycarbonate sheetings, was hoping to reuse all the wood & just move all the batoning, but it's all warped & twisted so had to placed an order with Wickes to get some more tomorrow, not sure anybody else os open.

To cheer myself up,i have bought off e bay,Rambo Trilogy for the great price of £4-70 including postage.I like Rambo First Blood,one of his best,not sure about the other two,but lots of action plus a cycle computer for the turbo.Going to put it o the back wheel,then set up the old really old spare laptop that weighs as much as a bag of concrete.Then got three training videos to try and keep up to their cycling speeds.I have picked slow ones to start with.

I am feeling rather sleepy.

At least I do not need to cook today as I have leftover lamb casserole and potatoes.

I will stretch a new piece of watercolour paper later.

So you've got some new beers now?

Damn it, my 3-day ton strategy isn't going to work! When defiant daughter saw that I was heading for over 33 miles a day, she put in stint of just under 40 miles to catch up with me. If she can sit on an exercise bike for 40 miles, she can do 35 miles tomorrow. This means I'm either going to have to go out at silly o'clock tomorrow or pay up.

 

[Reynard]

I have just fed the cats.

Now it is time to feed me.

I, too, received 6 various tomato plants instead of the 3 I ordered. No idea what variety they are!
Only Cosmos and Gazenia to turn up now..
