I finally got caught up with some outdoor chores....but its just the beginning....than goodness there was more sun than the forecast!
Accomplishments:

- emptied old soil in strawberry pot, refilled, (enhanced with chicken manure pellets) and added strawberries I bought along a road down near the coast this for charity.
- planted broad beans for the first time!
- repotted blueberry with ericacious compost
- convinced my friend to take my leftover raspberry canes now that she has found a new house and soon to close!
- Planted the geranium alba I bought
- Planted foxglove alba (tall!) along the fence
- planted some dill and red lettuce
- repotted nasturtium seedlings
- moved little peony to a better location in the bed (hope it blooms!)
- cleaned and watered pansy pots
- cut back and trimmed plants
- planted my bronze fennel in the herb garden
- Sowed some Early Nante carrot seeds in two pots
- Pulled up my last remaining sweet fennel and ate it!
- Pulled up some kale and cooked it with mushrooms onions and a little chicken broth...
- Got a package to mail of seeds in reciprocation of a trade..
- Enjoyed watching my clematis slowly growing for the first year of bllom, and looking at an ancient one I have nurtured up a trellis that is soon to bloom!
- Oh, and I planted california poppies all along the gravel next to my house and driveway :) poppy growing in gravel..

That's good of your neighbour to pollard their trees. Sounds like you've been very busy in the garden.
