At home:

• sowed a deep tray full of wallflower seed - 30cm and 40cm mixed colours
• potted on 10 "jumbo" fuchsia cuttings
• potted on more courgettes
• watered loads

not at the plot but in the garden, didnt get much done as yesterday was spent re-arrangeing furniture to get the leather recliner in, also got given a new bed base so collecting and installing that, so today I rested mostly, so only 6 of the 40 paving slabs were installed today, looking nice though.

well first and most importantly got to the plot made a cup of tea and bacon and egg sandwich
planted rest of the brassicas, so i thought, until i got home and was told i had more in seed trays in the greenhouse :blink:
Planted some runner beans out just need to keep our fingers crossed but they had taken over the greenhouse which was already a jungle before they went in it!!
hoed some beds that aren't being used yet, need to cut grass before it gets waist high but forgot strimmer (funny how that grows so well in this weather )
Loads of flowers on strawbs fingers crossed we get some weather for the bees as i didn't do to well with them last year

if all else fails my sunflowers are doing o.k.

Just popped down for a quick visit to take some bits of wood for raised beds and a pasting table to use as a potting bench in the polytunnel. Also today, the neighbour I took the plot on with, informed me that she's getting married and moving to Wiltshire so it's just my plot from now on. Am quite happy about that because I get to choose exactly what I grow from now on! So bye bye carrots and salad stuff and hello to tons of parsnips, leeks and courgettes!

A sunny day at last!  

Put some new wooden posts and supports for my raspberry canes, put some netting down for the peas to scramble over and uncovered half of the area that has been covered by black plastic since I took over the plot.  It looks like wet clay under there but that half is quite sunny so I should be able to use it for something.  Was nibbled on by midges.

Came home and put the kitchen herbs out in the sun as it was warmer outside than inside.  Got a few runner beans sprouting on moist kitchen paper so hope they come out ok.

Measured up for new raised beds (BandQ have half price on decking  ) on new second plot
Weeded strawberries and realised there were far more flowers than I thought
Added compost to top up and freshen the soil in an old dip tank that had been left on the plot and then sowed Fennel seeds (not the herb type, the bulb type)
Planted iris and glad bulbs (less than half price in aforementioned BandQ) around rhubarb to brighten the plot up later in the year

Just got back after mammoth watering session as planted up brassicas yesterday and had hoped it would rain so I wouldn't have to do much watering. Alas, no and no rain until late this week so don't want to loose them as I have got them this far.

Worked in the garden for a couple of hours today. Weeded all the flower borders. then re potted tomatoes, sweet peppers and chillis (these will be going to my son and my sister when I get round to visiting).  Also repotted patty pan squash and cos lettuce into larger pots ready to go the plot in couple of weeks time.

[grendel]

made a determined effort and visited my plot this morning I had a mere two hour window to get to both, have been ascertained the conditions and done a little weeding (need a whole day at each cutting the grass down, weeding and generally tidying   ) but at least I got there. strawberries potatoes and onions are growing well and peas are just poking their heads through.

Over the weekend I planted seeds of various corgettes, BN Squash and french beans.

At the allotment I weeded, dug over half the brassica bed, earthed up some tattys and gazed hopefully at my roots bed which has has seeds in for a month but nothing other than weeds showing.

Had a great time yesterday.. Planted out my courgettes, summer squashes, my delicious Gem-squash (from africa) Hubbards and a few leftover garlic plants that were in pots.

Some small chillies, toms and egg plant that are not growing fast in the home GH so planted out in the GH at the plot which gets more sun. Hopefully they might grow now..

I also planted out some garlic into my nursery area that I have been growing on from seed (bulbils). This seed was harvested by a friend from seed last year and I planted a few months ago - potted on once and as they are all growing well I decided to plant them out to grow. They will take a few years of planting, reaping, drying and replanting again. They will eventually get big cloves after about 3 years of nurturing... well so I'm told!

Planted a tub of carrots, planted the celery under cloches and mulched them. Also made a compost bin from pallets and added some cut grass from the borders do compost is on it's way

[NN2Blue]

Planted out my toms: A very old Bulgarian variety (x18)  and Gardeners Delight (x20) and a couple of Dr. Wyche's Yellow Tomatillos. Watched summer re-arrive around me.

Planted out Drawf French Beans Safari. Built a netted frame and then planted Autumn Calabrese in it. Then weeded 2 raised beds.
