On Sunday I

1/. Fitted the borders to the 3/4 glazed 8ftx12ft greenhouse (which amazingly survived the gales unscathed  :happy:) and dug over the borders so i can add the multi purpose compost on Monday and plant the Tomatoes/chillies/peppers and cucumbers.

2/. Began putting out the squashes/courgettes/callabrese/sprouts and purple sprouting broccoli to begin hardenning off for around a week prior to planting out on Monday.

3/. Marked the positions for the fruit trees, plum Opal and Victoria, cherry Stella, apple Discovery and Grenadier and pear Williams Du Commice,which are being grown as espalliers in buckets at home at the moment.

4/. Marked out where the coldframes are going to go and put the corner posts in.

5/. Went home a little tired and had a bath  :happy:

Down to the plot to water and hoe... simple but happy to have got there before the day began. 

And, last thing this evening, planted up 3 wall-baskets for my parents and cycled home for dinner at 9:30pm. Another long day.

Watered the greenhouse, hoed a little, stood and glared angrily at the jungle that s my next-allotment neighbours plot....hey ho, they're soon to be evicted and hopefully someone who'll love the plot will move in.

Either way, I really want a fence or some sort of barrier up to separate me from them....people keep mistaking theirs as the other half of ours!! I even got the eviction letter before the board realised their mistake!

Could no do anything yesterday - the weather was just too windy - would not risk even going into the greenhouse. Much calmer today so hope to do some work.

Trimmed sides of tea bush.  In the futher corner found some "visitors" footprints. Wild pigs sneaking around, looking for bamboo shoots

had a willow tree partially collapse yesterday on to the plot so had a quick look - luckily my peas weren't touched but might be bad news for some carrots and lettuce.

Picked yet another load of strawberries (they seem particularly delicious this year) and some lettuce for later.

Vit, you have a whole different class of pest than us in the UK!  

[Vit]

aelf, it is. But good thing - they are eatable pests

Day ended by fighting with weeds  and planted rest of peppers on the place after lettuce. Cloudy again, so less watering 

Thinking to build a roof above strawberry bed or just give up on it - too much rain last month, so most of strawberries rotten

Put sweetcorn and some sun flowers in last night, but ran out of daylight to plant anything else.

Replanted a courgette outside that just died
Thinned out perpetual spinach and regular (will use thinnings in pasta dinner tonight! )
Planted out my cavelo nero
Potted on purple sprouting broc - not sure if they will appreciate being root disturbed but I haven't got enough mesh to plant them out yet, and they are still delicate.

potted on my asparagus seedlings - so happy they germinated.

going up to the lottie to do some carrot, beet etc sowing.

Went to the garden center and bought some enorma runner beans, i spotted a half barrel planter around the side not being used anymore so i asked what they were going to do with it and they said take it if you want it my beans are now planted in it  and im feeling a bit smug for getting a free barrel :happy:
