I planted Beetroot seedlings in their Peat Pots in the ground. Forgot the soot, must check for slugs this a.m. first job.

Spent ages carefully tying my Runner Beans onto the canes with old thick wool to help them – they are very weak this year, due to lack of sunshine – another depression and possibly strong winds on the way. The slugs have left them alone after I sprinkled old soot at the base of each plant.

Saw our plantsman had some Celery plants on his stall.
Took one home for 50p – another attempt to grow White Celery in the greenhouse. Ha ha. Put some ‘Clover’ compost in the bottom of an 11" pot, about 2" deep. Planted the Celery plant in this. Tied a newspaper carefully round it. Then filled up the rest of the pot. Stood pot in an old plastic washing up bowl in 2" of water. Said " Now grow" to it.
It was like putting the children to bed again !
