First Planting Out.

So I've got my covers on my plastic frames, and I've sown a row of spring onion seeds in one of the clay beds today, even though the lumps of clay I can't seem to break up smaller than the size of marbles make me wonder how they'll push out. I'll probably have to  plant my leeks out in the same little plot if they ever become viable, but I think they'll be big enough by then to cope with the lack of fine tilth. Let's hope.
I also planted out some spinach today. That is to say, I took the nipper down the plot for him to plant it out for me - this felt  a victory in itself. Little Grow is not keen on the outdoors, soil or fresh air. He wants to help, he tells me, he just doesn't appear to want to do any actual helping usually, or moving out from in front of his computer. But today he cheerfully consented to actually making holes in the soil with a dibber and planting and then firming around the ground beside it with bare hands.  I tried not be too obviously delighted with this, but I was delighted. I'm not going to mention it again to him until the bank holiday, but with weather on my side and a few more plants ready to go, he might begin to think the outside is a nice place to be. Our little concrete yard does not inspire much, even the tiny herb garden I've cultivated doesn't pull me out much, useful though it is as when I'm making dinner. We have the odd barbecue, but it is so concrete and shade bound that we can't do much. I've got to plant some dill seeds soon in the bed, and have a little weed around. Perhaps now a lot of the grunt work is done (mustn't forget to fix the broken raised bed) on the plot, I'll find it more interesting to be in the garden. Or maybe not.
I also had a mass potting on section at home. I noticed that many of my seedlings didn't seem to be getting much bigger, and in fact ones I put out most recently in the mini-g don't appeared to have grown at all. The new tomato seeds I put on the windowsill to replace the ones chomped by slugs haven't germinated at all, apparently. So I'm not sure what to do. The ones that did look like they were outgrowing their homes have gone on to new pots anyway, so maybe they'll have a little spurt. I find it all so confusing. I do not appear to have very green fingers, to say the least.
Anyway, tomorrow a tidy up on the plot and an investigation of the pallets that are piled up in the corner. I've been watching some you-tube vids on how to make furniture from waste pallets, and I have to do something with them, so I better look at what I've got. I don't understand many of these videos, I seem unable to connect what they describe to actual life and they seem to show the complex bits, like fixing the seat backs at an angle or where to cut on the actual pallet, by shooting it from the wrong way. Explain it to me like I'm stupid and I've never held a piece of wood before in my life. Then we'll be fine.
