Week Commencing 28th April 2025

Monday 28th April 2025

Boo hiss.   Back at work. After work went up to lotty to get rid of all weeds ready for more rotivating next week!

Tuesday 29th April 2025

After work went up to lotty and got half of me bean row dug and muck put in ready for runners going in at the end of the month - not got many and last year the slugs blitzed em.  We shall see.    So far have only got potatoes and onions in the ground but hey ho we are where are after a very sad start to 2025. 

Wednesday 30th April 2025

Listening to Terry Walton's Plotcast podcast and found out (as well as now knowing that runner beans go round the pole in an anti-clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere) that Terry Walton has a crop calendar which can be found at:- https://downloads.bbc.co.uk/tv/radiowales/Terry-Waltons-Plotcast-crop-calendar.pdf 

Went up to my plot after work and completed the bean row - dug over and muck in the bottom ready for beans going in - am debating putting some french beans straight into the ground and seeing how they do (have got some dwarf ones flying in the greenhouse). 

Thursday 1st May 2025

Ye gods we're in blooming May already!  Am hoping to get to Uttoxeter GC this evening to play the nine hole medal.  Was first at the polling booth at 7am this morning to do my bit for democracy. 

Have got a mega busy bank holiday weekend but have got to make everything work.  Need to get mowed tomorrow.  Then have got a pub quiz.  Saturday morning am off to see DCFC's last game of the season and hopefully they will stay up.   Sunday morning golf first thing and then a gig Sunday afternoon.  Monday morning car boot at Alstonefield and then a rehearsal early evening (should be a trip over to Darley in between hopefully).  

Friday 2nd May 2025

Can't even remember what happened apart from after working going to a pub quiz to support MND which we won - which was nice!

Saturday 3rd May 2025

Did a ton of potting up.  Helped Missus Siddall set up the hall for the afternoon tea in the early afternoon. Chippy tea. All good.  

Sunday 4th May 2025 

Crap golf in the morning.  Walked off after 12 holes, sick of being stuck behind trees constantly.  Gig at the Latchlifter in the afternoon - really good gig which I sort of got us after seeing they were desperate for a band (presumably someone must have let em down).
