An impromptu session

I planned an easy day at home today but having spent the morning at the beach hut I was finally told after lunch that there was a message from one of my helpers earlier in the morning to say that a tenant who had volunteered to cut the slabs for the Special Needs plot greenhouse was on site and ready to start. I rushed down to the site to find that my volunteer had gone home so I unloaded the extra two slabs that were needed and decided that I would check out my own plot.
My first job was to check the cauliflower that I knew was maturing. It was only just big enough to pick but given the weather forecast for the next few days I picked it straight away. There is nothing worse than finding a cauliflower spoiled by weather damage.
I then dug over half my strawberry plot as my new plants have arrived. I was digging in the compost that I had mulched the patch with a few weeks ago.
I then moved on to dig out the trench on the other half of the roots bed that I had started digging last week. There were some really thick bindweed roots deep down so I am worried that there will be a massive problem this year with the weed!
Finally I dug over the soil in my glassless greenhouse. It crumbled down well but is totally without any humus, which is not surprising as there was an old shed on the site before the greenhouse. I think I might have to use growbags this year for my tomatoes while I enrich the soil for the future crops.
Before going home I also picked some of my forced rhubarb and a few leeks. The chard, which I covered with a net tunnel earlier to protect it from the pigeons, is still not recovered otherwise I would love a picking of chard with my dinner.
