Plant and sow

I took a quick look at the lunar planting calendar this morning having heard great things about how it can improve the success rate of planting, propagation and cropping. Not going totally by the book (as I don't have one) but will see if I can follow the principles.

That said, today's effort ...

Planted up two courgette plants in a mixture of well-rotted (and pretty old) manure, bonemeal (ditto) and home-grown compost.

Tomato plants - Sungold and Ailsa Craig planted up in a grow bag.

Seeds planted - runner beans, mangetout, butternut squash.

Lawn mown, weeding, topped up the pond, shed cleared out a bit - found the mouse that has been hiding away in there and eating the birdseed.
