Two days of a bit of catching up in the garden... topping up the green stuff in the compost heap and filling up the green waste bin with brambles and other stuff I don't want in my compost! ( The municipal composting looks to be done at a higher temperature...and I can get the results just for the cost of going there, now I have the bags)
While I had two days away, I'd taken the smaller plants out of the greenhouse and left the door open but a thin curtain pegged over the door to keep out birds and cats....
Farm worker neighbour came and watered when he realised that I was away and put bale wrap under the pots... He cares about plants as well as animals but has never been a gardener..never had the time.
He had inspiration..I have a few old bread trays that I had been using for storing kiln bricks....he placed one over the seedling beetroot as the sparrows had been dustbathing there! I've put another over the tatties to keep the local cats off.
Behind the tatties you can see last year's Cavolo Nero kale...now there for the bees.
There is still a lot of gardening to do.
I'd hoped to have a hand from the Oily One who was to have had his birthday break here..44 yesterday! But he fell off his bike last week and tweaked his back, so before a long drive he needs it tweaking back into place.

What a helpful neighbour. Beautifully dug over garden. I have raised beds (the boughten sort with a corrugated tin surround) for my flat beans and runner beans, have a courgette trying to survive the slugs as it is planted at ground level and they seem to be able to leap frog over the fleece I put around it, and cucumbers and tomatoes in pots in the greenhouse.
Making compost is time consuming and takes up valuable space.
I definitely would just get it like you
It lovely to have caring neighbours it’s kinda rare these days
I bet it's nice to see some sunshine up your way!
What a lovely gardening operation you have there!
...it looks like you are off to a good start.
Your garden is doing well and your neighbor checking on the plants while you are traveling is very helpful.
Having home-grown fresh veggies will be great.
Your garden is going great guns! Our weather here has been grim for gardens. You have a great neighbor!
Now there's someone who knows the meaning of neighbor. What a nice guy.
Everything is looking good. I have not been in mine for two days and now it's raining again.
I have a large double compost bin at home, but the free council compost is a good top-up
