I went down briefly at about 4pm to drop off some new netting,fruit cage poles and supports for the growbags.  Just had a quick look at the beans I planted out at the week-end - they are looking very sorry for themselves, maybe 2 of the 16 look as though they might perk up and survive the transplanting.  Home to germinate some more!
Onions from seed looking a bit yellow and pale, what could that be?

Ooh, have fun, Chillimummy! Getting a greenhouse is so exciting!

Today I pulled more weeds and nearly pulled my back trying to dig out some woad. It has the deepest, toughest roots - be warned, all, if you ever fancy planting any!

I also planted some more whizzy-coloured zinnias and pretended I was at Chelsea.

Popped up after tea, picked 3 asparagus spears.  Very cold with a bitter wind up there, don't fancy the chances of anything tender even if its protected with a cloche or fleece.

On the up side the weeds are growing mightily so something is surviving....

Nothing at the plot today, but plenty going on in the potting shed at home. Transplanted some Cabbage and Cauli into bigger modules from where they where sown. Also started off more Cabbage, Cauli, Tom's, Peppers and Chilli's.

Watered in the polytunnel.  No need for that outside.

Put up some supports for the asparagus, I'll let that grow out now, Im really not a fan and may remove the bed this winter.

Gawd I'd kill for an asparagus bed!! :D
Tried 3 times in 12 years to grow asparagus and failed every time :( :( :( :(

Pimento, it took us so long to dug up grass and lay slabs that we didn't even start putting up greenhouse  :(
Disappointed but will try again this weekend as slabs done. Still excited  :lol:

Netted my peas in case the pigeons take an interest in the juicy young shoots.

Noted that the spinach hasn't germinated well in the bed - only around 35%. Have sown some in a tray for back-up.

Beetroot seedlings are getting bigger but the germination rate is also disappointing.

Pleased with my incinerator and enjoy burning the weeds.

Yesterday planted my grown from seed onions, red and white. Looking like large blades of grass but hoping they improve  ;)
Sowed two rows of peas direct, hurst greenshaft. Peas sown at home in guttering were no show.
Dug over ground ready for pak choi today. Have lots of plants at home and will sow some seed too.
Potatoes finally peeping through soil which was worried as planted weeks ago but hopefully they will come on faster now.

Today planted all my pak choi plants and sowed row of dwarf beans while I wait for ones I resowed at home to germinate.
Spent few hours digging over and weeding where sweetcorn was last year. Was hard going as had piled all old raspberry canes and rhubarb that had dug up there and under that was lots of weeds. Hard going but ready for this years sweetcorn now.  :)
Need to burn all the rubbish now.
Sowed at home some more cabbage as plants have already are bit puny.
