Rosehip
I watered the smaller pots tonight, but I'm also braving it and leaving the big pots and raised beds until tomorrow.

I'm still watering every day, it is tedious! My first early potatoes are starting to flower and I had spinach for my tea for the first time this year.

Too tired to make it to the lottie tonight. Planning a brief early morning watering visit tomorrow instead and at the weekend might plant some beans directly to add to the ones I put in a few days ago.

The greenhouse was ordered today. Should arrive in 7 weeks!
Upon advice, I've got with glass rather than polycarbonate.
And I'm waiting until next year (or perhaps later this year) to get staging once I've had time to have a play and see how I want it.
Back to the allotment tomorrow to tidy the rhubarb bed.
Plants in on sun I think

Fragile Do Not Bend
I’m watering the things in the greenhouse every other day, big pots and crops in the ground twice a week at best, but they do get a good soak. No way I’m faffing around with the hose more often than that (it’s big, heavy and awkward as the veg beds are far too far from the tap).

Good idea rf_fozzy - take it slowly, see how you want it to work for you.

I'm jealous rf_fozzy. One of these days, I may break down and get one. In the meantime, I do have a number of good sunny windowsills that will do.

Woke up this morning to find that the local squirrels had completely destroyed the (cheap) iris I bought in Sainsbury's last night.
I caught them red handed.
The remains are all over my patio.
The neighbours have also had a shrub of some description completely ripped out the other day too

I've put my back out, so that puts paid to me pottering in the garden/allotment this weekend Instead I'll have to ask my other half to plant things out and water, what a (literal) pain! I don't think all the bending involved in gardening does my dodgy back any favours :-/
