Mr F said there’s going to be quite a lot of it and maybe we should pay them to take some away, and I said NOOOO!! He just doesn’t understand gardening 🙄

I have garlic, shallots and onions in, and put Parsnips and carrots outside (might be a touch early), plus some in large, deep pots in the greenhouse, which worked well last year. Cabbages next. Also, must remember Cosmos, and Sunflowers. Might not be so many cosmos this year, as I think I Might put some of the courgettes in the bigger pots, ought to do well on the sunny part of the patio. I mowed th elawn last night, I have a dandelion problem....
