Slow progress

My cold is having a serious effect on this project. I want to go to sleep for about an hour every time I do fifteen minutes work.
We've managed to get some sand onto the pathway ready for laying the bricks, although we do need a bit more. Also moved some of the soil from the old ornamental wall into the hollow that was the pond.
Leek seeds have gone in today. There were forty seeds in the packet, but I noticed the Unwins catalogue said fifty to a packet. I compared contents of the parsnip seed packet with the catalogue, and the story is much worse. When I feel better I will investigate further and write to them.
While sowing leek seeds today it occured to me that we might not have enough room for everything we've bought. Time will tell, but we may have to reduce the amount of planting for some things. I'm not sure we'll really need 500 parsnips (assuming they all germinate).
