Hubby is up the hill fiddling with his compost bin, how many compost bins does a plot need  means I have a quiet evening so compost away dear 

[mrswashi]

Weeded, watered and weeded again. Dug a little around the edges of my beds as trying to make them bigger by getting rid of the grass in between each one.....more planting space! Little at a time, probably will take me a year!
Pulled up some ready radish.
Went home sore but happy

Nothing Was supposed to go to a Coronation party up at the allotment but ended up clearing the daughters blocked drains.

Mr S took pity on me & accompanied me to dig some Mares tail out which we started on one of last years potato bed,he then rotovated that bed whilst I finished weeding it. Then I swoed what is to be the brassicca bed & then began to lay & wet 2 thicknesses of newspaper all over it followed by barrow loads of home made black gold(compost). Mr S came to help me & finished it for me. He then un-netted last years brassicca's & removed & composted all the debris,dug out stray mares tail & rotovated that bed. I made the first cut of the comfrey & spread it on the new Brassicca bed before we covered it all over with woven membrane. Whilst the rotovator was out I took the opportunity to tidy the shed. Lots of cups of tea & rests as I'm still suffering-a cough &cold now. Really appreciated the help from Mr S & it was nice to have the company. I feel lots more positive about it now,still got a bit to do-hand weeding garlic,sow more peas etc. Off on holiday on Saturday for a week.

Sow some more peas and transplanted the winter squashes into place going to train them up the boundry fence so they don't take up to much room. Had three sprouts left so stuck them in one of the raise beds in the poly with a couple of cherry bombs chillies and a row of silver skins onioins. As I was pulling a few weeds up around the side vent I jump a mile  , as there was a small frog there, so left the weeds there for now as it will gives it a bit of cover and it can eat as many slugs as it likes .

Had 1 cubic meter of topsoil delivered to the outside of the plot this morning, so 2 hours was spent shifting that, does mean that the 2 new 17ft x 4ft raised beds are now filled. Tonight one of them got planted with Cucumbers, Courgettes & Squash, the other won't be planted for another couple of weeks as the sweetcorn aren't ready to go out yet. This afternoon the plot was left alone, whilst we went and collected a 5ft wide, 5 ft tall, 2ft deep glass growhouse to go against the garage wall to give us somewhere to get tender stuff going next year (bargain 2nd hand at £50 on one of the facebook buy / sell pages)..... if only i'd known 18 years ago when we moved into the house and dismantled an old lean to greenhouse in the same spot that years later i'd get into veg growing :-)

spent a while in the garden pottering, took my tomato plants out of the plastic greenhouse /  shelf thing and they are now sitting on uncovered shelves hardening up (hopefully above slug reach). Still waiting for the neighbours builder to replace the fence, then we can tidy and move things next to the fence, its a pain as thats where I want to put the plastic shelf units for sitting pots on, and the plastic covers. then afterwards I can clear the shed and rebuild it as a greenhouse.

Did a lot of sunbathing! But I see I have kiwi fruit this season, I re-potted my nectarine tree and checked my yu mai tsai!   I like exotic days!

Over the weekend it was the same as a lot of people. Weeded all over and done some general tidying up. Started to define the edges of the plots. It's actually starting to take shape. As its my first year, was not expecting that much. Already made a few mistakes and already planning for next year.

Ok I have seen too many posts without it now. Say the word Grendel. I see your name and say to myself "strawberries" I'll never ban the word again. Did you not dig out even one little one.

Busy few weekends with cubcamp, Chelsea and generally life so haven't managed to get much time up there recently. I just popped up in my lunchbreak to find that what is growing is going crazy :-) so, back up there every night this week to carry on. Sweetcorn is the next thing and I planted some kale in modules that are still alive despite what I have done to them :-). lovely to have the nice weather though all I keep seeing are jobs to do in the garden. I need to work less!!!

No - not one single solitary strawberry plant, been too busy weeding the other crops.
