    Lots of weeds grown GWRS lots of the ones on my plot got yellow flowers on

    Did manage to put a few more boards along edge of path and 2 more rolls of turf, was a bit today where we rushed to car to shelter sudden downpour  bad made the plot rather puddley

    Scroggin got black fly on broad beans a lot on some so squashed them today with gloves on and sprayed with soap liquid - water -washing up liquid hope that will help them keep off make it slippery

    Hoping to go to plot tomorrow, then Hale - New Forest open gardens on Sunday

    My asparagus grew, haven't picked any though as this is the first yr.

    I'm in Stratford upon Avon for the weekend. Just been to Mary Arden's Tudor Farm. Must say you guys our plots are better weeded than their veg beds ?

    GWRS, the hotel is quite a distance from the centre, so haven't booked in at the theatre, maybe next time, it's certainly worth a second trip. 

    Only sowed courgettes, cues and squash before coming away so they won't be ready to plant out till June.

    Have a nice day everyone?
