 :)weeded and put in some cauliflowers and leeks and some spuds.also picked sweetcorn and courgettes and watered and now eating sweetcorn yummy

[mumofstig]

I cleared the sweetcorn stems to give the pumpkins/squash a bit more space and light.
Weeded and thinned 3 small rows of turnip seedlings.
Moved 2 barrow loads of manure and grass cuttings and piled them up ready for digging in later in the year

Tried to dig the bed where the raspberries are going, but the soil is still rock hard there, despite the recent rain

Examined my sweetcorn stems to see how much longer I have to wait before harvesting my first cob!   

Wondered whether my autumn raspberries will survive any gales with their existing supporting wires as this year the canes are about 7' tall!

Have a damaged knee so limped down to the greenhouse and discovered yet more peppers that were ready but still no ripened tomatoes.  Lots of spring onions too.  Got hubby watering and doing some cutting back and may use the limp excuse (forgive the pun) to get more work out of him.

Harvested some peas for lunch, cut back a Loganberry which is trying to escape across the neighbouring path - to be transplanted later this year - and hoed off some stray grass seedlings on the earth paths.

Someone has just posted an OFFER of picking rights to apples and blackcurrants on Freecycle  hope to be busy picking fruit soon.

I bent mine over and tied them in.... lovely canes... not so sure about the berries yet

I snatched an hour and pulled some onions and spuds and peas. I also weeded. In your second year does the weeding get any easier at all?

[jamima]

Sorry not really weeds come from nowhere ! :blink:

[vet]

Picked CF beans, Mange tout, half a dozen giant cucumbers that had been lurking out of sight,   a marrow/courgette and two smaller siblings, :blink: bag loads of plums(more jam in the offing)    and some yummy blackberries which I'm going to scoff for lunch

Much easier - you get to know what the little blighters look like!

Just back......I went to pick some purple podded beans for my tea

When I got there my debris netting was trampled at one end and 2 cabbages and 4 swede plants broken at ground level Brown muddy footprints on top...I think it's a fox that does it.

It has been on the netting twice before but this is the first time it has broken the crops ......why do they do it?...it's so annoying. it's that or digging a hole just where I've planted my lettuces.....oh joy

What with finding mould/blight in the greenhouse and polytunnel at home this morning, and now this...........I'm having a bad day

[sunshineband]

Last year at school we had to grow everything under net tunnels on blue pipe, and een keep potatoes covered becasue of the attention of the foxes -- not helped by using pelleted chicken manure of course 

[dexyblue]

not been for 2 days because of this damned weather  the bottom of my plot is prone to flooding I believe so I may have acquired some ducks as well when I go 

[mjpalin]

planted 13 new strawberry plants into the wonderful 4 pint milk cartons, designed the new strawberry bed for next year, and realised i need another water butt as the current one is about to overflow with all this rain!

Sorry to hear about your bad day - foxes!!  I sympathise with you.... I have the same problem and have to cover all new seed beds with very stout mesh or I find it newly dug when I next visit.
