Lots of planting out - 4 kinds of climbing beans, 4 kinds of squash and 3 kinds of cucumber, then some weeding and general tidying.

Popped on this morning for a bit to do some weeding, and chop down a Sharon Fruit tree that's taking over the greenhouse. My dad planted it for my mum years ago (dad passed away in August last year, mum died in August 2012). she loved Sharon fruit, though I don't like the mess it makes in Autumn  ::)  So it's going..


Spuds are doing well, the Sarpo Mira have finally all come through and are about 6 inches high. Roosters are about 15" high..


Also picked some roses for home..

Yep. Bindweed wrapped round dead rosewood and brambles, with a carpet of goosgrass for good measure.

It grows SO quickly...... I'm away for 2 weeks, I'll have a forest of it when I get back. Also did lots of other weeding.

Planted out more sweetcorn and beans.  Did some weeding.

I spent all day yesterday tidying the garden at home and planting out ornamental stuff I had grown from seed, so only gentle jobs today  ;)

 :D  Nope, but we were both furiously sowing flower seeds earlier in the year and talking about stuff to follow the bulbs, so I guess we reaped what we sowed  :lol: Funny we both picked the same day to plant out though :wacko:

Spent the day in the garden & greenhouse. All tomatoes & cucumbers are in their final pots( note to self sort out the strings tomorrow). All excess plants are either in the 2 blowaways or taking their chances outside( note to self- don't pot on in excess of 100 tomatoes🙄). Tidied the shed out to allow access. Then I disposed of loads of plant trays & modular trays that were far more than I shall ever use. Tidied around the greenhouse area so now we can get round without taking your life in your hands

picked 2lb of strawberries, pulled 5 garlic as a tester too see what size there at...not bad (think the bulk will be coming out tommorow as there all rusted to hell and have lost a few to rot, all the rain we`ve had recently?), frowned at the fact I`m gonna have to do ANOTHER  sowing of french beans (pigeons,slugs).Pulled 4 short rows of carrot seedlings out, leaves had died down and roots appeared to be rotted, carrot fly?. Tied all the toms in and had my first ripe one of the year(SunGold), neem oiled the small tunnel cos the black fly in there have got to biblical proportions.

Quick trip after work to cut the grass paths and have a sneaky spray of the empty plots bordering the small plot.  I only did the edges, but that should keep the weeds back a bit  :)
