Finished off the edges on Plot 20 and dug up all the infested Onions, hoed both plots and then harvested several types of veg for dinner tonight

[mumofstig]

Popped along with the kitchen waste for the compost bin, picked a cabbage and some sweet peas

[sunshineband]

Sweet peas for me too 

 Also grubbed up a few spuds and carrots, a courgette from the little poytunnel and some broad beans.

Nice for dinner tonight

First furtle of the year - still at least 2 weeks early i think, but there were some pretty huge arran pilots to take home.

Today on the allotment we finished digging the pond, lined it with sand and put the lining down. I got Logan and George to fill it up with water from my water butt.
So far we have no leaks, I hope it is still full tomorrow after school!
We are collecting some flag stones tomorrow to put around the edges and will put some plants around the edges for wildlife to hide in.
I will take a picture tomorrow and try and upload it on here

Got back from spending the night with friends to discover that our site has had a vandalism problem this weekend.  Group of youths broke in via a fairly insecure old fence that borders the local school and had set fire to some pallets and some broad beans on another plot, stole some plants and damaged fences.  My plot not affected, but not a good feeling.

Sorry to hear about the problem on your site... hopefully it is a one off.

In my 90 minute visit this evening I weeded like a mad man then stopped to lift the first lot of potatoes.

Bit more front garden dug and sweetcorn in then potted up and planted out a few herbs I treated myself to.

Courgettes given a supper of nettle tea and loads of side shoots pinched out of Toms, finally broken gazebo frame dismembered and struts used for cucumbers to climb up!

Did some hand weeding some greenhouse watering and harvesting a lettuce

[Gravedigger]

After being away on holiday (thankfully it had rained here but not where we were), had a mammoth weeding session.  Still no signs of pea germination so planted fine green beans in the bed.  While away my carrots have disappeared...literally...no sign of them, no holes, no dead leaves 

Also my red onions have bolted!!  Can I cut the heads off them and hope they continue growing?  They are not ready to harvest yet.

My brassica bed is still a surprise, they are beginning to look different from each other but still no idea what is what    I'm sure I'll get better at this eventually lol

[aelf]

mostly did some harvesting:

broad beans
courgette
cabbage
carrots
beetroot
blackcurrents
strawbs
rasberries

 

[Johnnywesto]

Thinned out and replanted the beetroot, swedes and sprouts.

Tied up the broad beans to the support canes as it was quite windy up here.

Weeded like a madman - got a compliment from the neighbour about how weed-free my growing beds are compared to his

Picked 2lbs of gooseberrys for workmate and g/f's workmate

Picked and have eaten with 11 y-o son and his mates who came over for tea - turnips (Golden Ball and Milan), beetroot (detroit), butterhead lettuce and first plant-load of International Kidney spuds. 
Not a bad effort for Fathers Day!

Dug my first new potatoes for tea, and yesterday pulled a lettuce and spring onoins lovely .............

[aqua]

painted the shed while it is still flat

[Springlands]

Planted out about 70 leeks, sowed more beetroot and beans. Watered everything - ground was quite dry even though we had rain through the night.
