    Picked my first kale and still have a few lettuce.

    Is it too late to plant onions and garlic? I keep forgetting to take them down to the plot.

    I'm off work for two weeks now, Hope to finish digging over veg beds.

    Scroggin that is a great sized shed does take a lot to build a shed, Mild day as well as you was nice and sunny so t-shirt weather - not sure if I am going to sow sweet peas in Autumn or wait till later

    More shed building today had to spend ages getting a puddle off the tarpaulin on the roof - so more planks across roof under tarpaulin to stop it flopping in - incase it rains but hope stayes dry

    Ginagibbs take it easy new table working fine on here

    I've tried to get to the plot each day, to get as much done before I go back to work.

    About half the bed's have been covered with muck.

    There's a new strawberry patch and onions have been planted out. After reading GW mag I've opted for five different varieties of garlic, ones planted out. The jury's out, whether to start some off in pots. 

    I've also been saving seeds 

    Can't wait to see your finished shed Gg. A guy on another plot plans to build one out of plastic bottles. I've been saving them for him.
