[New shoot]

Harvested potato onions.  Quite a few were going to seed, which is a pain as I save the bulbs year on year, but salvaged a seed crop and maybe a few to eat    The Music garlic was so rusty I couldn't stand it any longer, so that's out and that was the last of the overwintered onion/shallot/garlic patch emptied so dug the whole lot over and installed blue water pipe and net tunnels ready for cabbage and kale to be planted out into.

Weeded through asparagus patch and I have lost 3 over the winter as still no show.  Luckily was in Wyevale yesterday when they were marking down veg and got 3 sturdy plants for £1.50 each so they can go in there as replacements

Weeded as much as possible. (four bags full). Picked some peas, broad beans and dugthefirst new pots for dinner. Chased a rabbit off the plot!
At home, pinched out side shoots on tomatoes and then fed them, the cukes and chillis. Checked all the container grown veggies.

[Yana]

Cleared a patch of ground that had the overwintering broad beans.
Put in more climbing freanch beans and succession planted White Lady runner beans.
Weeded sweetcorn, onions, Beetroot and carrot in raised bed.
Picked peas, broad beans, kale, cabbage and raspberries.

Met up with two of our friends and we all enjoyed a picnic lunch on our plot today - despite the blustery but sunny weather.

We then set to work weeding the plots, then replanting the onion patch with beetroot and sprouts which we netted. 

Lots of cropping - mange tout, french beans, broad beans, gallons of strawberries, charlotte potatoes and tons of courgettes.

So jealous, we don't have any signs of courgettes yet and I love them! All our crops are very very late this year. Sounds like you had a lovely day

Hi Symone, yes it was a great day today - it's not always like that.  I have responded to your thread.  I hope you can turn around you plot, seems such a shame that you aren't getting more out of it as it should be feeding your soul - not just your appetites!

We have been lucky with our courgettes as I continued potting them on into larger pots whilst the weather was horrible and resisted the temptation to plant them out earlier so they didn't sulk as some have done.  The crops are behind, our potatoes certainly are behind, but stuff is starting to pick up - I just wish this wind would calm down as this is causing our exposed plot no end of problems.

I know what you mean, today we had blistering heat, rain, clouds and then wind. Last year we lost loads to the really late frost we had and now this year all the veggies have had to learn to swim! Still looks like we may neon track to get some September courgettes

Watered the greenhouse again

[AnneB]

Weeded.  Tied up the tall peas that are reluctant to cling to the chicken wire themselves.
Noted decimation by slugs.  Come on you nematodes, do your stuff!

Dug first 2 Lady Christl potatoes and only got a small handful.  Very disappointing.

Netted the strawberries.

Unwanted pond at the bottom of the plot has returned.

[grendel]

Strimmer finally working properly, strimmed the rest of the weeds on the unplanted sections down to ground level, started weeding the peas, just those and the leeks that are going to seed left to clear, and on that half plot I will be caught up to where I should be - now all I need is the plants to catch up too.

took to and helped new member of site put up his shed not easy as he had no tools with him ,lucky had what was needed in my shed ,then he came and had look at my two plots and asked if they dig it over for you ,didn't know if he was serious or not , :unsure:when he went back to his i got on with tying in my toms and cucumbers in the greenhouse ,

[jmc1949]

Marked out where my plot starts and ends as the bloke on the next plot has started to get very close to mine. We aren't allowed fencing and our plots are defined by a dividing 2 foot path either side of the 20ft width.

Then dug up some potatoes and planted more drawf beans. Started to rain so came home.
