summer at last?

I havent posted for such a long time. the miserable spring meant no motivation for me. the wet ground prevents me doing the simplest of things.

But at last we have sunshine! the nights are still a bit cold to plant out most veg but my onions and potatoes are doing great.

My daughter helped on the plot last week.She erected a couple of metal arches across the path-im growing beans over them,itl be nice walking under them and leaves my beds free for other things. 

I was at my most most of the day yesterday.
I framed off a small patch which houses my blackcurrants and a few strawberries...and then put down membrane and topped it off with wood chippings.
After lunch helped a couple of my friends cover a polytunnel .After that i gave everything a good soaking after tea.

Im in need of a shed that i can sit in,ive a rickety one that leaks and a metal one with no windows which is like an oven. got sun burnt too so im a sticky mess today with all the lotions ive plastered all over.

Wont  be at plot this weekend..always miss it while im away visiting Dad. I sit there twiddling my thumbs with frustration.

Anyway , happy easter.
