mowed around  the two plots and composted the clippings

liquid feed to peas, broad beans  and onions
other plots deserted due to the cold weather and overcast conditions-
why oh why do some plot holders throw stones on the grass paths as it wrecks the community mower 

The adjoining path between my plot 2 and next door for instance I cleared 1 bucket of stones off again today which I can only assume must be my plot neighbour as the path only serves our two plots, unless of course others are throwing them there

Rant over

It was our annual plant sale today, good day to catch up with other holders. Lots of new faces this year, must have been a big turnover of plots this winter. Hopefully newbies will stick it out.

Nice weather today, took the battery strimmer down today in fit of tidiness.  earthed up the spuds, pulled up more PSB plants and watered some stuff.  Fair bit of weeding.

Put the plastic on the polytunnel for a second time.  Properly fixed, so hopefully stays on this time.   Weeded.  Planted out a few lettuce and 3 tomatoes in the small polytunnel on our daughter's plot.  Picked rhubarb and PSB.

Planted a big, big bed of dahlias. Every single one of last year's tubers - nearly 100 - happily sprouting! Gladioli as well. Moved purple sprouting broccoli and outdoor toms to cold frame. Found space in the greenhouse for mini cucumbers and sweetcorn, just germinated in the house. Watched the goldfinches fighting on the feeders!

Weeded out couch grass from round the edges of the allotment - it had spread all over the top of the weed suppressant, so not difficult just time consuming.

Strimmed some of the bank in front of the plot.  O/w broadbeans just starting to pod, lots of blossom on the fruit trees and bushes, garlic looking good. 

Lots of empty space waiting for it to warm up to plant out everything waiting at home.

Just got back from an hour of weeding between the onions and the shallots. On afternoons this week, so will have to do an hour or so each morning. The small area I am weeding should be ready by the weekend, ready for the transplanting of the beetroot.

First dose of comfrey tea applied to fruit plot today and will net strawbs tomorrow (becoming urgent).

[Yana]

Me again......
Nettle tea on brassicas, checked early potatoes as they are starting to flower (that's means they will be ready soon?), transferred peas from guttering to raised bed, weeded onions and had to take tops of broad beans as signs of black fly.
Carrots coming on a great and beetroot planted as modules seem to have teeny-tiny beetroot developing.

Planted out my second batch of runners, first batch of dwarf French beans and lettuce. Held back my desperation to plant out tomatoes, corn, squash/courgettes

[surbie100]

First crop of comfrey into the compost, watered everything very thoroughly and started on yet more digging to make space for my squashes and possibly an attempt at a munty frame.

What's a munty frame?

[teamspotty]

Continued redigging, now finished. Layed weed supressant over. Moved carpet/rubbish mylex weed supressant and strimmed down bits that had poked through. Now able to continue on digging, four more runs to get to my half way point....
