Yeah happy birthday for tommorow Ferreter

Today i squashed yet more sawfly off the gooseberries so decided enough was enough and bought some spray and enjoyed watching them after that!!!

Gave some things a good water - came home and decided what to transplant tommorow and then cracked open the few of many beers for the evening!!

[mjpalin]

Checked on the new strawbs we transplanted yesterday, hoed, and transferred the contents of one waterbutt to the other, so that o/h can fix the leaking tap tomorrow

[teasmade!]

cleared another bed ready for the runner beans, so many weed roots but another one done

Very hot today whole of the country was heading to sunny hunny for the day, fortunately we were heading in opposite direction to lotty so didn't get caught in traffic woohoo !!

watered everything as they were all flagging badly those that are growing and not a sign of anything from seed so just wait and see.

will be heading there again tommorow for another day of looking at the sky hoping for more than a drop of rain 

oh and happy birthday have a great day

One good thing about lack of rain is at least the weeds are not so busy growing.

Well, we were going to go to the allotment today and were only a matter of yards away but then...

We had a BBQ in the glorious sun today before heading indoors, then after letting dinner go down we decided to walk to the allotment with the dog, there had just been a light shower and we thought that was all, just a light spring shower. But as we were approaching the allotment, the clouds drew in, lightning lit up everywhere and the rumble of the thunder was getting louder and closer. So we headed home in the what was at the time light rain, after only a few minutes of getting in the rain started to hammer down, within a few more minutes the sides of the street were like swollen rivers, It was blowing a Gail out and bolts of lightning struck down from the sky. So all in all a lucky escape, and too think, we were going down to the allotment to water the plants 

So, I didn't get to the plot today as you have just read, and i probably did just waste your time

Boiling hot down south today.. Got to the allotment around 2 and spent half an hour or so attempting to dig out some more bindweed that has appeared 

soaked in sweat after that so watered most things and had a chat with another plot holder before heading home

At home we sowed lots more seeds (me fruit and veg and the other half sowing flowers), watered all the new grass and i even managed to dig out the stones on the bed by the garage.. took a few hours and now have 8 heavy sacks of stones to take to the tip!

Great day though and got a lot done. have now had a fry up and some beer and im sitting in the conservatory waiting for the meteors

[Kimberley04]

Tidied the path at thr front of the plot, weeded and watered everywhere, and sowed two half barrels of carrots.  Also, got thoroughly sunburnt in the process...

Built an Ark in readiness

No lottie yesterday but going today to supervise my teenage sons do some digging for me.... hopefully (as long as I can drag them out of bed!)

[totalnovice]

Well this morning i manned the shop! thoroughly enjoyed it too, i got to gossip with all the old boys, (even if they do hold a conversation with my chest...) I got to dish out some advice to some newbies (hehe!) and I got to sit in the shade - far too hot to do any hard work on the plot, and even the weeds are sulking so all is good!

Are you quite a tall lady?    The reason I ask is that some OB's probably have stiff necks thanks to old age and years of gardening and can't look up as well as they used to (think I've already joined them; good excuse anyway!)   

Going to get down on my hands and knees later and sow my chitted sugarsnap pea seeds one by one to replace the ones which failed, and then make a late decision whether to go with the barbie or not because there's a very oppressive feeling developing in the (now very hot) air............
