Potatoes planted finally and red onion sets. Have some more from seed but will let them get a bit bigger.
Sowed 2 rows of broad beans direct.
Next visit will be to plant cauli's as they are getting bit big in pots.
Need to finish digging bed where squash and courgettes are to go as is a bit overgrown. Only part of plot left to dig though which is good.
Ground is so hard to work as so dry.
Wish I had a rotivator   
Shouldn't be greedy though as at least I've finally got a greenhouse

Stared forlornly at potato patch devoid of any greenery except for emerging thistles.
Went to see if the rumour of a duck nesting in a pile of compost bags was true - it is!

On the positive side, at least you can get the thistles out before the spuds come up.
I love the idea of a duck nesting in compost bags, hope she gets through it all undisturbed.

My potatoes are just showing, just in time for frost...so covered them up this morning just in case.  It's oddly dry though...so I'm hoping for some of this heavy rain...

Earthed up the potatoes and covered them with fleece due to forecast frost.

[Offwego]

Earthed up the potatoes and took the  frost damaged leaves off the earlies
howed  the  both plots

put fleece cloches over the 6 rows of spuds as there is a frost forecast in the next few days

Popped down for a quick half hour in my indoor crocs.... eek  manure delivery!  On with the wellies that live in the shed and 4 barrows later the spuds were 'cloched' with manure over them, broad beans were weeded and I finally got fed up with the PSB after all that waiting and I'm fed up with eating the stuff (I knew 14 plants was too many!) so pulled off the netting and had a large chop of spears- there's a big meeting tonight I'm clerking...PSB for all Govnrs ..mwahahahaha

Quick hour at plot today.
Planted a row of kestrel and 2 rows of maris peer. Main crop next week.
Sewed sweetcorn and french beans at home.
Ground so much easier to manage now rain has softened soil.

Popped down to plot this morning and cleared 3 small areas for courgettes and squash. Dug in some manure and mushroom compost along with some multipurpose compost. Added some grow more and few slug pellets for luck!
Hopefully these mini beds will be ready for the plants once the frost danger has gone.😊😊😊

Cheers HH

Sowed my first runner beans.  I'll do a coupe of sowings over the season.  Potted on Spaghetti squash, golden hubbards butternuts and courgettes.  Earthed up the potatoes.

Emptied the bottom bits of compost from a dalek and the hotbin and re-filled them both with very fresh manure from this week's delivery. I dug it out of the middle of the pile where it's nice and hot, but by crikey that's powerful stuff. The fumes were pretty intense!

Pulled out LOTS of horsetail.

Haven't been down to the lotty for a few weeks so wasn't surprised to see my recently dug bed starting to sprout weeds. Started to dig it back over and dig in the manure that I'd chucked on top - its starting to look plantable which is a good thing as I have lots of seedlings started...

OH continued working on the asparagus bed.

[Offwego]

Plot 1- my better half hadn't been down to the plot for a week and was amazed at the weeds that had grown in that  short time, she weeded the rows and also  thinned and transplanted the turnips

plot 2- I hoed the rows - weeded one row of  beetroot and one of parsnip
then I cleared an area for my new compost dalek made a timber path shutter around it and laid 100mm bark chips all over, my wife then planted some of the turnips that she had over from her plot into an area I had empty from some failed onions.

[Yana]

Not much time today so weeded broad beans, onions, and checked on module grown beetroot. All doing very nicely and even saw broad bean pods beginning to appear.
Carrots in barrels have germinated, and peas needed encouraging to attach themselves to the netting to begin combing.
Pulled rhubarb stalks to make rhubarb cake tomorrow.

[teamspotty]

Continued digging over to get rid of weeds - part now ready for planting seedlings.

OH tidied up bonfire and moved it down the plot and did some tidying and then onto the asparagus bed.

[chillimummy]

Couple of hours finishing digging and weeding where squash and courgettes are going. Dug up few stray yellow raspberries from there.
One small patch left to dig over now where sweetcorn will go.
Need to burn pile of old raspberries canes and rhubarb and dig up grass.
Soil so much easier to manage after rain so raked where cauli to go and main crop potatoes.
At home everything coming up.
Growing butternut squash for first time and plants looking really healthy. Lots of celery, cauli, cabbage and pak choi. Onions from seed are bit tiny but might plant anyway
