got home from playgroup and 2 year old was fast asleep in his pram, took him in, grabbed wellies and a fotk and dug over a patch of compacted bed, spread bit of cmpost, planted sweet peas watered in,covered with grit and bird friendly slug pellets & got slug pubs ready, the locksmith was here watching open mouthed, he said " You move fast, do you hire yourself out?" Managed all this in half an hour before Captain Cuteness woke up, was v proud! Have spotted opportunity to make beds a bit bigger in back garden on south facing wall without losing grassy play area, am v excited and raring to dig up some brick edging and grass this week if poss! Oh also ordered tose 3 free ( pay postage only ) perennials from the new GW, am such a sucker

Yesterday was first day in garden since before Easter. Away for a week then decorating and then the thumb infection. Got hailed off after 20 mins but took a barrowload of plants from the nursery bed to the shed for potting up for next week's charity sale. 4 barrowloads later I have dozens of bearded iris, hemerocallis in assorted colours, hardy geraniums, pulmonaria and aquilegias.
This morning, weather permitting, veggie and nursery beds to clear for veggie plugs I bought on Monday. Pak choi in the garden centre for the first time ever!
Good luck to anyone hoping to get outside today. Not looking good here now.
