A 5 hour visit today. 

Mowed and edged the paths, trans-planted 40 shallots, sowed 2 rows of carrots and (although I guess it's rather late) planted 2 rows of onions.

Came home only because the shilling ran out at 9pm.  :happy:

[aqua]

today planted carrots, broccoli, chard, pak choi, rocket radish mixed and two rows of pink fir apple (cos Mr aqua really likes those).

removed the third of 3 yucca plants, trimmed back the overhanging leylandii and did more clearance.

planted some celery in pots.

not even a third of the way down the plot yet.

Earthed up potatoes, then got a great skip find of blue water pipe that some builders were happy to give us. Took that home, then  potted on courgette, aubergine, tomatoes, basil, oregano, and sweetcorn. watered all the seedlings.

Well, we did more digging and more clearance. I feel like we're getting a lot done; like we're really getting somewhere.

Before (last weekend):


After today (our second weekend on the plot):


And our youngest with the very cool slow worm that we found while clearing debris:

Today at the plot i dug up two gooseberry bushes and moved them to the opposite side of my allotment near the plum tree.
My son planted some Kale, Chives and some Giant Sunflowers.
We also weeded and watered another plot as my friend is on holiday for two weeks.
I also had a discussion with another plot holder about the benefits of having a wildlife pond and some ducks.
Although the council would have to give us special permission for the ducks, so i don't think this will be possible any time soon.

Been working, so just wandered across the river in my wellies, watered my strawberries and onions. Then into front garden to dig an cultivate my trenches ready  for my spuds to go in :-)

[grendel]

planted up about 20 seed trays with beans and peas, took a water butt up to the plot, and did some quick raking to get some of the weeds lifted by the rotorvator up.

Today I have mostly been pulling out bind weed roots. Man sized ones, as thick as my finger !

After filling 2 yellow 75ltr trug tubs I pilled them on top of yesterdays brambles and introduced the lot to my blow tourch

You are so lucky having sloworms as they are a protected species. Great for keeping down the slugs too!
