So it’s a ovely day in London with sunshine streaming in through the window – alas I;m at work (for at least another hour) and not in the garden elbows deep in planting out some stocks and primroses.

Weekend (gardening!) plans:

Front garden

• finish potting above mentioned primulas and stocks do tidying p the raised bed/cobbled path (those cobbles will be going this year)
• tidy up the bin area
• take and post a few pics for the record!

Back garden

• get down the firescape and into the garden (first floor terrace conversion)
• make a (long) list of what needs doing to tidy things up and get the three veg beds back into production
• remember that there are two bags of manure in the front garden that need to be moved to the back ready for veg bed prep
• check on the two flower beds
• work out when to give the deck and path a jolly good scrub and clean
• remove dead plants/weeds and tidy away old pots
• sort out tool store which lives under the fireescape
• does the fence need painting this year?
• can I get one or both of the raised bed plastic grow frames out
• pics!

Allotment

• quick check on how wildflowers planted last weekend are doing
• maybe – if weather holds – tackle that final bit of grass and brambles which needs digging over
• pics!

Inside

• finish sortoing out seed stash – veg/flowers
• prep for allotment sweed swap next weekend
• add posts to allotment society blog
• investigate funding streams for allotment soc meeting
