So much to do out there, because of my shoulder it all got left alone for long enough for the weeds to pass the hoeing stage and I am taking them out with a small border fork, but my shoulder will only let me do it a small patch at a time and then find a job that doesn't put any strain on it.
Today I also dug out a corner of the new tunnel. It was pretty nice earth, but I took out a cube about a foot each way and back filled with compost and manure mixed in to the earth so I have a little mound to plant a cucumber. While I had a pit I drove a six foot and an eight foot bamboo into the side at an angle so I could attach the other end to the frame; support for the cucumber and bracing for the frame combined. I have left a couple of my cucumber seedlings there to see how they do overnight, they have been on the windowsill 'til now, but I need the space to plant more things, now is the time for most of it.
The other thing I did was take the broad beans out of the greenhouse, they are a small variety called 'The Sutton' that I germinated early spring and then planted into buckets, four to a bucket, nine buckets. I turned old compost bags inside out and put them down a layer one way and then a layer the other, then put the buckets on top and spread a few slug pellets between. That should be one bit of garden I don't have to weed by the time the beans have done.
Watered the greenhouses, I have lettuce germinating, spring onions not showing yet, tomatoes needing planting on, and all the pots of non-hardy plants for the patio and flower garden are starting to green up and need a drink.

In case anyone was wondering about those beans in buckets, badger dug through all my Autumn planted beans. He had already destroyed my winter carrots and I was beginning to worry, but a few weeks ago the house next door but one that had belonged to the elderly widower was sold following his death. Neighbours helped him with his front garden, but the back was a wildlife paradise, but the new people have erected heavy duty fencing to contain their two Great Dane dogs, and I have seen nothing of him since.

I planted a couple black walnut seeds in pots and the squirrels found them.

Planted 4 deciduous azaleas in the ground, the soil was good, hubby got 6 bags of composted pine bark to mulch the azaleas.

Harvested some baby carrots, baby onions, and late Turnips today.

The usable Turnip production is winding down here as heat is rapidly closing in. In fact, this may be the last edible Turnips until fall here.

My wife seen what I was trying on our garden Ruth Stout method. She told me to stop it is too Dangerous for me.

So I’m using Raised Beds and hoping I can get my Granddaughters Cats from using it as Litter Box. Her and her Dad are mad. Why they mad I’m the one trying to grow something.

I planted Cabbage, Green Onions, Large Onions , Beets, Lettuce and Carrots. Put Bird Netting over it.

I replanted Tomatoes and Peppers in the Greenhouse. Took some Marigolds transplanted them to 2 inch pots. Replanted Petunias.

Started to repot my Geraniums but they was ok.

Put soil in one Raised Bed.

Swiped a. cutting off a plant in the Doctors Office.

Nothing outside today since it was freezing out but I did work on more planning for my garden project. The darker area will be the garden space and the lighter area is the woodchip path. With any luck I may start it tomorrow. The hardest part will be digging up and trying to save a bunch of plants that already exist here.

The area actually looked amazing last summer (photo below) and I'm almost sad I have to destroy it... but it'll be worth it in the long run.

The squirrels plant those in my pots and when I find their stash I throw it back at them.
