Repotted 12 Tomatoes and two types of Cucumber this morning, planted sweet peas in their bed, then made up two big pots with the rest. Deadheaded me Daffs, then went into the greenhouse to give the seeds a good hard stare...that should make 'em grow!!
My lovely local tree surgeon brings me chippings,and following the "nitrogen robbing" issue being raised ,I've done my best to do some research.
To be fair , the jury seems to be out. Nothing concrete on either side.
I've left my batch a year and will am adding it as a mulch and digging in as I'm moving stuff. I'm working on the principle that stuff will look pale if nitrogen is being robbed and I can feed. Never know until it try.
Pricked some seedling out this morning, placed pots on a border which I am hopefully going to be planting up soon when I get plants from somewhere I cant find a single supplier which sells all the plants I want hate paying postage out to multiple companys.
Looks like I be picking rhubarb tomorrow cause the snow just broke it
Used up a whole Saturday, must have been doing something
Moved a small chain of plants lungwort-hydrangea-hydrangea and planted a perennial foxglove I grew from seed. Hit difficulties with more and more rubble in each planting hole and culminating in a whole house brick. Gave up planting for the day after excavating that.
Thinned and tidied some seedlings and sowed a wave of cosmos.
Oh, had my brown bin emptied for the first time this year yesterday and have completely refilled it already
Boys and girls, can I build a raised bed around a tree stump of a tree that was cut down 5 years ago or do I have to go in tomorrow and dig the trunk out?

Wood chipping , I believe if you are using them in large quantities you will get a loss of nitregon
I have use them as paths on the allotment and have used them in small amounts in the garden and no problems
