Planted my potatoes. Sewed beetroot,carrots and some radish. Would have sown some parsnips but it was too windy. I didn't want to sew the neighbouring plots. lol 

[Allotmentgirl]

Filled my basket-on-wheels with pea sticks from the Churchyard and trundled off to the plot. The peas are looking good so pushed plenty of the sticks along the rows - then had to work out how to net it all as we have a resident Fat Pigeon living on the plot.
(Looking on freecycle for an air rifle).

Put the potatoes in

Maincrop carrots sowed yesterday and enviromesh erected and pegged down.

Deep digging a new asparagus bed, removed some Sloe roots and some bindweed - that felt good. All the activity fed the resident robins they will sit on the fork if I stop.

Picked Rhubarb had it stewed with custard last night - superb.

I looked after the fruit today. Tip pruned the summer raspberries, potash on the plums redcurrants and gooseberries (already mulched with compost) then watered in.
On the veg front watered the garlic to get these boys going, its been pretty dry here

[elibump]

We managed to plant 120 (2/3) of the potatoes and a whole box of broad beans.  Hope to plant the other 60 potatoes and other box of broad beans along with red & borlotti beans this coming week.  Raining now so, rain has stopped play, for which my back is very grateful  .  ^

Supposed to be playing pétanque but may need to give that a miss this week, too much more bending over

40 Desiree spuds in. Stokesley peas in.
Tomorrow - a bed of Misty peas and a bed of Jaguar peas to do.

Sowed pumps, butternut, sweetcorn, sweet peas and sunflowers. Need to remember to buy some brussels sprouts and swede seeds!

[Rangerkris]

Loads while the children played i moved some soil, planted some spuds and onion seedlings marked out a new path to keep children from playing in wrong area marked out a plot for each on the children about a rake by a rake hahahah.  Had a good chat with others at the plot and then came home and sown some beans potted on some toms and cucumbers (they are in flower on the window sill and small cucumbers are forming.  Very good day again at the plot.

[Jonajo]

planted 2 rows of beetroot and 2 rows of spinach

thinned out the seedlings in the greenhouse - toms, peppers, cape gooseberries..

planted out the rest of the broad beans from greenhouse

Completely went through the large pallet compost bin, the small pallet compost bin and the two daleks (all inherited) and managed to fill two daleks with wonderful compost. A real treat...it was like being a child again at Christmas!!

Picked a few asparagus to go into the fish pie

Weeded all the pathways.

Phew!  But a lovely, relaxing several hours spent down there.

[lizzie1982]

Today i dug over bed 3. I also planted out my purple podded peas and broad beans. I've put canes up and string around them to help the peas to grow upwards.

I also planted some rhubarb that a fellow allotmenteer had left on my plot.

I found a box of wild flower mix under my sink, so these were planted in a bed near my blackcurrant bushes.

[Wombat18]

Dug over the last patch of weeds.  Got rid of some blown cabbages which never really amounted to much and put some onions in their place.  Sowed some bergamot seeds.  Harvested some purple sprouting, must grow more next year.  Admired the progress of the asparagus bed.  Weeded.  Watered my experimental new turf paths (they look great, but time will tell how much work they're going to need.)

Fended off plot pest     He's there almost all the time and spends 10% of his time actually working on his plot and the remaining 90% wandering round offering terrible advice and his opinions on the politics of the day.  Why does there always have to be one?
