[like diggingk]

dug out the bed I plan to put my runner beans in eventually and added lots of compost, a bit of sand because it's very clay'y, some blood fish and bone and for good measure , chucked some chicken manure pellets in. Put a mini polytunnel over it to start warming the soil up.

Covered one of the shed windows with some strong plastic to keep the rain out. Waited patiently for the 3rd time for the man to come and felt my shed roof. He didn't turn up but fingers crossed it will all be done when I arrive tomorrow. If not I'll do it myself.

Met my plot neighbour for the first time and had a chat with her about my polytunnel and I agreed to move it further away from her plot (my suggestion not hers) as it might shade the decking area where she likes to sit. So my job for tomorrow is to get rid of the turf in the new location and dig a trench.

Am currently sat looking at the homebase website for ideas of paint colours for the shed. No boring brown for me. Was contemplating something stripey and possibly pink!

i have a pink shed

From paper pots to larger pots, basil, anise, lavender, rosemary, thyme, oregano, lovage, amaranth, borage, orange peppers, courgettes, mixed peppers, strawberry sticks, dill, fennel (bulbing and none bulbing), leeks, welsh onions, spring onions, giant red celery, crystal lemon cucumber, custard marrow, sweet mace, clary sage, winter savory and red veined sorrel. Can't move in the greenhouses now!

Not at the plot but potted on 10 brussel sprouts and 10 purple sprouting brocolli plants.

Just need a break in the weather to prepare their bed

today i dug over the side of the house, so that my mum could put soem plants in, then i potted up my strawbs, then i cut the grass, followed by cutting down the grass that had swamped the strwaberry patch, then i put in my bigga pea in a trough, the kelsea in pots and also some of the chilli's in pots.

Then i moved onto the veg patch and i put in the left over cabbages and lettuces. Then i put in my crown and king tut peas - which ive never grown before, but they will be saved for seed.

Planted some celeriac under pop bottle cloches, weeded the onion patch and started to dig over the last remaining plot still with dandelions poking through

[NN2Blue]

Planted out module sown Blauschokker and Carouby de Moussane peas. Not happening again.   Need to develop a more efficient system or give 20% to the mice!! Also planted the  Chick Peas,  Pascia or at least the one's that could be bothered to germinate.

Hardening off the tomatoes.

Collected 7 bags of spent mushroom compost and took to the plot.
Yes running late this year! Spread some on my bean bed and sweetcorn area.
Hopefully it won't be too hot when I plant out seedlings from greenhouse.

Must be be pretty strong at present given the warmth of the bags!

Cheers HH

Four and a half hours on the plots today to make up for all the missed days when it poured.

Cut the grass paths with a push mower  and did the edges.
Planted more peas and onions (hoping they will come to something despite being late)
Put in spring onions

Hoed and hoed and hoed.... the rain has done wonders for the weed seeds hope my carrots notice!

Not made it down today.
But have a spotted the tiniest green shoot in my attempt to grow root ginger at home.

Repaired the greenhouse - I'm pleased you have but I have one that has 19 broken panes.  It came with the new garden over the road. Glass is pretty expensive so I'm going to try to cut some to fit as I have a pile from a previous disaster.

Haven't cut glass for years.  :blink:

Planted some lettuce plug plants that were 20p from wilkos and yet more digging. Digging nearly done then cracking open a beer
