Sunday on the plot

Sunday 6th June
The rain last night has wet the soil and made the plants perk up standing to attention like solders on parade.
The air is fresh and we keep having small showers but not enough to fill the water butts.
I took Barbara out for lunch at the garden center in the village its nice food and makes the day seem like Sunday I lose track of what day it is with not working on Fridays (still not used to it yet).

Spent the afternoon on the plot setting up the watering system for the green houses.

The first one is a micro system that cost about £10 with all the bits I still have some bits left over (as you do) the tomatoes are set in B&Q builders buckets 99pence each when I bought them.

This one is made up with hose pipe and soaker hose it looks like it will be the best but I will have to wait and see.
The Tomatoes are set in the ground with Chilli's along side of them.
Cost about £12.

This bed has courgettes ,Runner beans, peas, and Garlic / dill

This bed has the Broad beans in the bees were out around the flowers when the rain stopped.

The beet root needed the water and has grown over night.

The bed next to the beet root will have leeks in it in the next week or so.

I have had the first new potatoes out of the bags in the green house Ive put them out side now so I can get on with the tomatoes and chilli's.

I try not to be tied to the garden if I can as its a simple life that I'm looking for.

I have been doing some work for the wood work show at Springfield's Thursday were putting the stand up.

I plan to be there Thursday and Friday I have other arrangements for Saturday and Sunday being the good ladies Birthday and that.

I rang my daughter this morning It seems that my grandson Finley and all the family have been laid up with the colds and Flue that's going around.

He started to crawl about he was after the dogs food this morning she has to keep a close eye on him now he so quick.

Well I have to go as I have to get all my things ready for work as I have to meet a gang starting a new job tomorrow at Moulton then in the afternoon I have a asbestos awareness course its the second one in a year but the new company wants everyone to go on it.

Life is so simple if you go with the flow as I have started to do, You get no work done but you don't get stressed about anything.
