I got lots of little things done, didn't have enough energy to tackle the big things.

Plantings:

• Three rows of corn
• About a dozen potatoes
• Five ollas (plus threein the trenches between the potatoes, that are still "above" ground).
• Six replacement lettuce (the original didn't come up)
• transplanted two zuchini and a melon
• Two dozen sunflowers (in pots)
• The remaining zinnia from a packet (not sure how many)... only half a dozen packets to go (they were free with the paint we got for the house for some unknown reason)
• A dozen flowering sweet pea (ornamental, not edible)
• Ten parsnips (in toilet roll tubes).
• Half a dozen replacement onions (the originals didn't survive my random watering due to the day job).

Also chopped down more thistles, weeded the corn bed before digging in the manure and planting, Hopefully it's not too late for planting.

And pictures! Here's the "assorted things" beds outside the kitchen last weekend. Clockwise from the front left, we have a turnip which started to gorw a bit too much to eat happily flowering, the enthusiastic garlic is behind that, down the right side we have the struggling peas - none of them seem to be doing well this year, in front of them we have turnips from seed and coming back to the left we have spinich under the oh-so-decorative bottomless plastic juice bottles (which function remarkably well as mini-greenhouses and bug/slug/rabbit prevention).

Next we have before and after pictures of the corn bed. At least I know the manure mix is fertile with all the weeds that sprouted. The little markers are exactly where the corn seeds are, so I can try not to accidentally pull them up when weeding.

Finally we have the potato trenches with the ollas, the third trench is half buried because I forgot that I'd gradually added soil as I mounded the potatoes up last year so when I redug the trenches I didn't actually have enough room. Fortunately as I planted the potatoes the initial mounds were enough to free up room in the third trench.
