be careful above




i planted out sweet corn and calabrese. watered. dug a bit more unclaimed land. hoed. Helped OH destroy the top half of a forsythia.

Only only one bed to de dug over and our once over is complete. It is the hardest one though.

Finally decided to take the plunge and planted out the first sowings of runner beans and sweetcorn (more to follow in a couple of weeks.)

Sowed 2 short rows of Autumn King carrots and one of Nantes Frubund (which I have not only never heard of but can't remember where the seeds came from either!) Sprinkled with organic slug pellets and covered with enviromesh on wire hoops.

Sowed rocket and cos lettuce, both of which I had forgotten about so far, despite cos being my favourite lettuce!  

Made threatening gestures to my greenhouse cucumbers; the one growing on the floor looks pale and miserable even though it has produced a flower, the one on the staging looks a bit happier (albeit not exactly delirious!)

Was completely ignored by a female blackbird who was desperate to start looking for food as I watered everything in (I think the drought has made life quite hard for them.)

I stayed at home and got on with the kitchen hoping the rain would amount to something useful. 

"Sprinkles" of rain seems a good adjective   

[Nige2Plots]

Did the edges of both plots, all neat and tidy now Apart from that, generally pottered!

[Doddy]

Got a 2nd (half) plot

Today I picked up my greenhouse and moved it to my allotment.
My husband helped me to put it together, it's now up. It just needs fixing onto wooden planks and a good clean and i can start growing in it.
It's a good size- 8ft x 6ft and green, with polycarbonate panels in it

Id really love a greenhouse but the neighbour kids end up smashingg them all up - not good at all - such a shame for people that have spent time and money on them

i did all those little jobs i have been utting off for ages, tied in my raspberry canes, tied in my green house toms,  de-side-shooted my toms, hoed between the rows of raspberries, weeded between my tatties, tidied up the shed, sharpened and cleaned tools, re pegged some netting, sprayed the apple tree ( :Pwooley aphids ) and rounduped the path ( :Pcouchgrass )
All in all i feel like i really made an impact today, also planted up my kale (they are so mini!!) and my brussles, picked a few strawberries that i missed yesterday, i swear i was going to take them home.... but they were soooooo ripe and juicey and warm from the sinshine.

Good weather today, so will play with my lovely chainsaw 

[noshed]

Ate some Swift spuds, Derby Day cabbage, peas and broad beans for tea. Scrumptious. Then watched the lovely rain come down.

Yesterday planted out rest of my peppers and toms, marigolds between the toms, second batch of courgettes. Bought an apricot tree and planted it woohoo! Dug one more patch of second plot. Hopefully we will clear it up this year, plus we need space for melons and watermelons.
I dug into the soil two frames with nets to make a house for brassicas. Two more to go to finish a row, then two on top, staple gun the enviromesh to it and then my babies can finally be planted out! Woohoo!
Picked more strawberries. It's finishing soon    But raspberry is starting!
Had really good rain yesterday evening, can relax for few days with watering. Need to stay on top of weeds though,they will go wild.

[sachkrimbo]

Nothing today and won't be doing anything cos the rain is here!!!!

[Thephoenix572]

Cut the rest of the grass a bit of weeding and some more watering

[mumofstig]

our first propper rain since the beginning of the year, so nothing much getting done, but even so the rain is very welcome
I can always potter in the greenhouse

Today I planted my runner beans - Moonlight.
Also planted spinach beet, beetroot- wodan, spring onions, american land cress and 5 courgettes and a marrow plant.  Sowed another short row of radish.

Am soon going to be suffering with a lack of space - only got a couple of rows left unoccupied, but plenty to put in them.  I am finding that I am having to use more containers at home to put in the garden there for smaller veg.
