Planted some Ulster Classic and Beauty of Bute seed spuds in barrels for Christmas pulled two iceberg lettuce and watered both greenhouses

[tonel]

Mowed and strimmed the plot (had left it a bit too long, was getting a bit overgrown). Uncovered and dug over a new bed, watered, and sowed some Florence Fennel seeds (suspect I might be a bit late but thought I'd give it a go - not tried them before). Still quite a bit of the plot that needs cultivating but getting there slowly - had our first produce recently (second earlies, spring onions, broad beans and beetroot), very rewarding

(Not too late for Florence Fennel, tonel  )

Spent three hours taking stones out of two of our raised beds -- looks good, but I bet when it rains they will still look full of stones again 

Hope it helps the carrot shapes next year 

Also came home with yellow flatpod beans, runners, tomatoes, courgettes (of course), broad beans, loads of yummy raspberries and sweetpeas by the dozen

Found that someone eating my tomatoes in the night time

Planted last of the calbrese - hoping to get a fina crop before the end of summer.

Planted some PSB

Weeded around the beds - having said that with the dry weather hardly any weeds at all.

Back home sowed some spring greens and caulis

[sunshineband]

Nice damp day so planted out some more caulis and cabbages, and put all the pea top growth into the compost bin

[Mr Rotavator]

Weeded the plot, fed the tomatoes and had a fire. I also, in my stupidity, ate a whole chilli off one of the plants in the greenhouse to see if they had a taste to them yet

I guess it did then

Only popped by to water the tubs, but I ended up digging up the spuds, about half of them had slug damage and I think if I'd left them in I'd have lost the lot.  Interesting how it varies from variety to variety, will try kestrel next year as I've heard they're very resistant.

I am actually having a day away from the plots I'll pop up tonight to water the greenhouse but to be honest I'm at that point where I could not be bothered. I think we all feel like that sometimes!

Continued weeding then emptied out the compost from the bottom of the bin.

Whoever designed that silly little shutter to extract compost from the bottom of the bin .... I can tell them it doesn't work! The only way is to tip it over.

I couldn't agree more. The only way is to tip.

(I've been putting off doing the one in my parents garden - now the problem will be putting the compost round closely growing plants)

I spent most of this afternoon/evening hoeing, weeding and muck spreading

[Paul Plots]

6:30pm to 9pm.... lovely and peaceful.

Picked lots of beans (runners - ordinary long ones and a very short broad variety that are doing well, purple french something-or-others that go green when you cook them), courgettes (longs and rounds), and one red cabbage.

Then I took a peek at the potatoes.... and didn't like the look of the foliage... so to be on the safe side chopped all the tops off.

Tidied up the rampant growth of the cukes and s.f. melon, defoliated some toms, planted out some purple sprouting broccoli and protected them - then watched the weeds grow with a nice coffee!
