Today's gardening achievements

I had only a few hours of daylight in which to get things done in my garden (I spent most of the day helping my brother and his fiancee out).

Planting:

• Kale seedling (bought)
• 3 x Spinach 'Winter Giant' seedlings
• 5 x Lettuce 'Tennis Ball' seedlings
• 2 x Lettuce 'Amish Deer Tongue' seedlings
• Last of my golden shallots after finally deciding on the best spot to put them

Maintenance:

• Put the old tomato vines in the green council bin (I believe they had a disease or fungus, so better be safe than sorry rather than risk putting it in my compost bin)
• Begun putting the powdery mildewed pumpkin-less vine in the green council bin as well
• Re-staked the dwarf eureka lemon and dwarf afourer mandarin trees, replacing the thin bamboo stakes with plastic coated metal stakes so the two trees are now properly supported
• Began creating a potted worm farm to test if it can work (more on this in a later post)

Still to do:

• Plant more beetroot seeds (I've had some soaking in water for a couple of days to help improve their germination rate)
• Plant onion seeds
• Finish removing the fruitless pumpkin vine from the east garden bed
• Complete the potted worm farm
• Pull up weeds
• Lay down cardboard over weeded paths to prevent more coming up, place stones on the cardboard to keep them in place until I can put down mulch
