Yes I’ve done it! I’m up to date with everything that I need to do in the greenhouses for April. Everything is sown, pricked out, and planted, and the greenhouses are all organised and tidy.

I can feel smug for the next couple of days, knowing that I’m on top of everything for this month.

But you can bet in a weeks time I’ll be behind again as in May I’m sowing my beans, and I’ll have more pricking out to do. They’ll be weeding and more planting out to do, but this time it’ll be flowers, so I won’t be smug then. Hopefully I won’t feel like I’m chasing my tail, but as the weather warms up for summer the grass will need mowing more often, and I’ll have to weed more often.

But hey ho, when it’s all done, I can sit on the patio with a beer in one hand, gazing hopefully in awe, at the wonders in my garden.

I’ve made lots of videos that my daughter Emily is editing for me now. I pay her as I don’t have time, so you’ll have those coming very soon.

Don’t forget about my Live Show this Friday, for episode 500!! For more information sign up to my newsletter https://clairesallotment.com/newsletter/

Well I’ll make the most of being up to date with everything with a cup of tea and a piece of homemade battenberg.

Have a great week and look forward to speaking to you on Friday for the Live Show!!
