Yay. Did an awful lot of weeding today, have the achy back to prove it!

Earthed up my 2 rows of spuds - a great feeling churning the weeds up that have started growing! Weeded around my onions and garlics, also the same with my small row of cabbages that are coming along nicely. Tidied up around my broad beans and peas - my 40p dried marrowfat pea investment is looking good at the moment as I have a decent row emerging. I then put in some little gems from the coldframe down the middle of my bean sticks that have black plastic laid underneath them (beans not in yet!). Took 3 bags of manure down ready for pumpkin/squash plating hopefully in the next week or so if this blooming wind would die down!
Got home and had a quick tot up of things in the coldframe/platic greenhouse....15 tomato plants, 6 aubergines, 5 peppers/chillies, 4 okra, 6 melons, 6 pumpkins, 21 other squashes/courgettes/cucumbers & 21 sweetcorns....I've only got half a plot....it is going to be packed!!

Went down late this afternoon after the rain to recover from shock of car repair bill!
It all looks nice - well the earliest spuds,shallots,  onions, early broccoli, celeriac all coming along nicely. Carrots have sprouted so only the parsnips being less than helpful!
Tomorrow - provided I get a few dry hours the weeds will get it!

I want to have a paddy and stamp my feet, hubby has dashed off to the plot as soon as I pulled into the drive with the kids, he already had the little one in bed. it's my turn he went yesterday. 

[grendel]

well the rainy start of the day put me off going to the plot, instead I finished weeding the front garden.

It's only taken me a week!

Today did not go as planned as it was my day off but my little boy was ill so didn't get to spend the day at the plot  .  He miraculously perked up at about 2ish (funny, that) so we went for an hour between showers. Checked and weeded the peas, they are coming up slowly.  Had some more in modules to plant but it was so blooming windy I couldn't wrestle with the canes so just brought them home again!  I'll try again when this blinking wind drops a bit.

Not able to do much on the lottie today, just popped in to check my okra in the greenhouse, they seem okay but I've  put the covers on just in case it gets to cold for them.
Weeds everywhere again, I'm fighting a never ending battle and its mainly because the plot next to me is fall of dandelions which have gone to seed and now spreading over my plot and the plot on the other side of me. We have never seen the owner of the plot.
My Hubby would love to spray the whole plot with roundup  said he's got the license to use it.
 Trouble is it won't just kill the weeds.
I'll have to talk to the allotment warden about it, but I really don't want to cause any ill feeling on the site.

Well, yesterday now. My husband had the day off and went to the allotment voluntarily and build a couple of raised beds. This is the just about the first time he's actually got out of the car after 4 months of me having it! I think he is inspired now there is some dug ground and plants in and it is looking like an allotment. That said, he then came home and started advising me what to do  (I asked him if Monty Don had popped to the plot because what would he know?)  still, a good sign none the less but I also felt a little protective of it - Mine Mine Mine!   

[grendel]

few hours at the plot - took the strimmer and strimmed the paths ans compost bin area, then did some weeding.
chatted with the plot neighbours.

Nothing here because we have a lot of the wet stuff  again.

[Thephoenix572]

Little bit of weeding and planted a few pumpkins seeds direct

[jmc1949]

Planted up the flower area with cornflowers, nasturtiums and marigolds. Also sowed some wild flower seeds at the back of the plot. I'm doing my best to get the bees to come near my fruit trees and bushes

[JayG]

Replaced the anti-mouse netting with the anti-pigeon netting around my sugarsnap peas which are now all up.

Finally got round to planting out the sweet peas.

Planted up some rooted watercress in a large tub of chicken poo enriched compost in the greenhouse.

Dead-headed the tulips, daffs and some of the hyacinths in the front garden and transplanted a few lily of the valley plants to a shady spot (dug out of my lawn where they have crept through the hedge from next door - very nice, but I hope they don't make a habit of it!)

Crossed everything that my other neighbour got to finish mowing his dandelion-rich lawn before it started really raining.........he just made it which is just as well as they're off on holiday at the end of the week and I've got plenty of dandelions of my own already.
