watered/fed everything that needed it and did 10 mins weeding, before my back started complaining  so had a chat instead 

[Lady Rosemary]

I didn't do anything at all .... got home from work and started tea, then (by the time I sat down to eat it) it got dark all of a sudden.... 

Guess a trip down there tomorrow will make me think about what I need to clear in the tunnel to make way for stuff to overwinter....

PS - I love to chat too Mum....

Had really good intentions of weeding the garden plots - OH dragged me out for a long walk and then I was too tired for gardening.  The walk was really good though - a lovely mild day.

No watering needed to day - the sky sprinkler did it all for me.  Much too wet for any weeding.

Put up a poly tunnel. Today I plan to go and build the raised beds inside...

[Craig69]

Over last week i built a 109 SQ FT chicken run & moved the girls in. Put up a new shed, moved some Raspberry canes & Rhubarb & dug over the bottom plot. Need to sort out the compost area & make room for another fruit tree & an area for having a fire 

[grendel]

well since I wont be able to get to the plot for a week and a bit after today, I popped down the plot and rotovated all the bits that had been cleared from potatoes, beans and peas. 2 hours to do both plots, also picked tomatoes, raspberries, a couple of squash, and a few courgettes.
all done and looking tidy while I have a break.

Beans still going strong so cleared around them & removed pea supports.
Straightened the paths on both sides & cut the grass on the path next to mine as the plot holder doesn't do anything to his. ( Can't understand how he's allowed to keep it!)
Turned the soil with the Mantis (Great bit of kit  ) & put 2 different Cabbage seeds in. Hopefully they'll grow for next spring.
Spring onion seeds going in next.

Hi
Ive got one of those green webbed greenhouses,disaster today the metal zip fastener snapped,the teeth are only plastic and after a bit of use dont fit together properly.
Its been very windy here today and had to botch up the door with duck tape to try and keep the wind out,hope its still there tomorrow!
Made a coldframe from wooden crate,(free from fireplace shop),and some glass window frames (free from glazing skip).Only had to pay for some screws and wood preservative.My time was free as well.

Added two whole dustbinfuls of pond weed to our compost bin, and mixed in plenty of shredded paper as a 'brown' ingredient.


Also picked a pound of raspberries 

[NN2Blue]

Picked some tomatoes, runner beans, beetroot for pickling, and, sadly, the last of the onions some of which have white rot. Fingers crossed for the leeks right next to them. Oh! and a good punnet of strawberries.

Went down this morning to check-up and feared the worst. However, the new poly tunnel is still standing despite the howling winds:


Carrot cloche didn't fair so well:

tried to count things taken by storm, but had also some other thing to do, so...
anyway, keep smile and thinking to move to "livestock" category

P.S. i think i need some of those poly-bla-bla-bla things for coming winter

[flitwickone]

went to the plot and found that my 6-8 tons of manure had been delivered    and i have taken 3 different samples from the heap and planted peas in the pots and i have mixed with my own soil
then i heard a crack and turned to see the wind snapping the canes on my runner beans so i picked as many as i could and have repaired as far as poss
im waiting to pick more
