Stuck the last of the runner beans and climbing french beans in.

Drenched calbrese in soapy water - got some white fly on - this is supposed to work but they have had a few waters so far and doesnt seem any change?!

Did a bit of hand weeding and the odd weed growing on the paths

Really wish the council would put a new person at the side of me - its full of weeds all flowering so im in for joy later! Council do it June to June - no idea why they dont do it Jan to Jan instead

OH - and picked some mangetout for a prawn stir fry tonite along with some baby turnips

weeded a bit and picked a handfull of broad beans we will be having for tea, plus a minute potato weeded from the pumpkins, imagine my surprise when the weed had a 1cm round potato on the roots.

Went to work boo hoo
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

I was given a packet of cucumber seeds I was not going to grow any this year.  But just felt the need to sow a few.  Also sowed more french beans and carrots in pots.  A general water of the greenhouse, revealed first chillies a cm long.  That's exciting

You'll be lucky  ::) :nowink:

Planted all the pumpkins/squash and the last of the 'too many' tomatoes  :lol:
Tied up stuff that was blowing about in the strong winds, watered in the greenhouses.

all I did today was take down about 8 bags of garden compost to add to my bins at one allotment.

Picked our first cucumber today, it was like nothing me and my son have ever tasted before, we had a shop bought cucumber in the larder so we compared tastes, it was no match for the home grown cucumber, we also made ratatiue with our home grown garlic, onions, peppers, courgettes and all my own home grown herbs, we had to buy the ingredients that we`re not ripe yet but wow what a taste useing home grown fruit and veg makes to a meal, i dont know why i didnt start growing fruit and veg years ago.

Put straw under strawberries and netted from birds. Transplanted 2 kinds of lettuce and some brassicas offered by neighbour

Bought a pack of labels, poppy and wallflower seeds.

Sowed corriander, Mooli radish and potted on some chard.  Need to find someone to give it to now.  I transplanted some little spinach seedlings to fill out the rows.  Had a weed and tied up the tomatoes in the greenhouse
