We worked from 8:30 a.m. till lunchtime in a fairly ruthless, businesslike manner, keeping meaningless conversation and tea-drinking rituals to a minimum level:
- Disposed of all non-germinated stuff, e.g. celeriac, Golden Bell sweet pepper (promotional packet), campanula, sage, eryngium alpinum superbum. Did we sow at the wrong time, over-water, under-water, use the wrong compost? Who cares, out you go.
- Ditto the nasty prickly gooseberry mother and baby, picked up from Canadian plot. Gone all grey and dead-looking. Out.
- Planted 14 main crop potato tubers (Maris Piper) in D2, then dug out a path between D1 and D2 to plant another seven
- Transplanted 15 sweet peas (King Size Navy?) in C5 with Bowler D's help (photo soon)
- Transplanted 2 sweet peas (Diamond Wedding) in B5 without help so looks a mess
- Transplanted six Brussels sprouts plants into B3, leaving about 13, I think, in a temporary sort of arrangement in one of the compost bins, can you believe it?
- Sorted out the greenhouse (a woman's work ...)
- Watered absolutely everything
Our payment: two lots of mixed leaf salad ...
