I’ve sown salad seeds which I got free with Gardeners’ World magazine that DH kindly bought me - they’re now seedlings which is very exciting.  There were also tomato seeds so I now have 10 tomato plant seedlings and three more I’m waiting to come up out of the soil.  We managed to get a brand new fold-away wheelbarrow on Freecycle (I love Freecycle!) last night.  This afternoon I dug a hole and mixed the soil with manure from a friend’s farm so that in a few weeks I can plant a blackberry bush to grow up the shed.  Two of the girls’ sunflowers are now showing, which they’re very pleased about.  Other projects we have in mind over the next year or two are:

1. Digging up shrubs to make way for veg patch and more grass

2. Sowing grass seed so the ‘playing area’ is larger (as the veg patch will make it smaller)

3. Flower bed alongside the fence
