Hope all survived - the main problem I have is slugs and snails

Runner beans, moungtout and pea seed planted. Wish I had got them off the market, they have plants already to go in, although there is always a risk of frost till end of May. Cucumber plant is doing well and so are the tomato plants, one has the beginning of a truss forming exciting 🙂 I put in some eggplant seeds too but I never had success last year and the seeds are past the use by date now, so they may or may not be good to grow.

Been in the garden today. Being active was good😎

Digging is hard work, have discovered a stone mine! Or is that a granite mine? Chunks up to 15cm surely don't count as stones?
Will be last bed I make this year. Have got in mangetout, and, already cropping, salad leaves and radish, planting potatoes tomorrow, seeds in for perpetual spinach beet, basil, rocket, and more radish. Got one tomato plant in, buying more hopefully runner beans to go in by mid week. Weather is warm and dry.

Yup digging is hard work so I constructed some raised beds last year and you don't have to dig them! I made some narrow gravel paths around them and any stones I find get thrown onto it. Easy way to dispose of stones and they keep the paths maintained. Also planted some fruit and veg in amongst the flower border. Dunno how that will work but it should be interesting.

Actually no, exacerbates frozen shoulder.

 

[HOBIE]

Keeps you out in the fresh air & active. Frozen shoulder is a sign of diabetes. I would be all over the place if I could turn my T1 back ! 😱

 

[SkinnyLiz]

Have learned that recently, many peeps with diabetes, or prediabetes get frozen shoulder. Also thyroid problems.

 

[SkinnyLiz]

Trying to order perennial leek seeds, can't find them anywhere
And how is it can get three packets of seeds delivered from UK to France for less than the price of a single packet as sold in local garden centre.

As many of you know I am an Electrician & spend half my working life putting light fittings up. Balanced on steps with one arm holding the light & hanging on. Connecting up, hopefully job done
