Planting Day

Lots planted today - potatoes, carrots, parsnips, broad beans, onions, shallots, radishes, spring onions, wild rocket, coriander, garlic chives, dwarf green beans.  Propagator refilled as squashes planted Monday evening up and looking good.  Echium groundcover planted in preparation for the bees also up, at least in the trial pots I did for the propagator and cold frame, so I knew what to look for at the base of the fruit trees where they're seeded; not up yet but at least I'll know what they look like now.
Sorted the rest of the seeds out so I know what needs sowing next.  Cleaned up seeds collected last Autumn from our own garden and others (seem to have thousands, may have overdone it).  Feel like I've done about 3 days in 1, but great to get so much done.  Water butts ordered via Yorkshire Water website, need to get some guttering now for the summer house and make our butt farm behind it.
Probably tidy up the base of the rest of the fruit trees tomorrow to plant some Californian Poppy Seeds.  The picture may not look much but there is much promise in it!  www.digthatgarden.co.uk
