I got loads done, I planted three of the tomato plants in the garden and sowed some camomile and lettuce seeds around them. I'm hoping that the tomato plants will grow tall quickly since and the low lettuce and camomile will keep the weeds away and keep the earth damp. I've got the whole lot under a polly tunnel at the minute. Since I have so many tomato plants I put another two into a trough planter (using more free compost from the dump) and one into an upside down tomato planter which I made out of an old 2 litre plastic bottle. I have no idea if it will be a success or not; the tomato is looking very unhappy at the minute.
I've now weeded a fairly big section of the patio and I've put some play surface mats over the rest of it so that my son can play more safely and so that the weeds I haven't gotten to yet will be starved of light. If we get good weather during the week I'll hopefully be able to lift a mat each evening and weed underneath it.
I also planted my first peas of the season, it feels a little early so I only put three in a pot, here they are with my herbs.
