Had a good few hours there today.

Planted about anotherer 100 or so onions, Dug over another large bed (Only 3 more to go)

Rescued the fence (again!!! - really need to sort a new one)

Brought home about 10 leeks and some over wintered spring onions.

Had a good chat with a couple down the site - couldnt believe there was only about 3 people there!

Now back home, having a relaxing ice cold lager then make the most of the sunshine and sow 100 or so peas and a few more mangetout now i know what to do with them!

Had a look at the rasberries i put in last year - really need to find out what i should be doing with those now!

went to get horse muck in my neighbours pick up truck to supply his allotment which is close to mine and next weekend we'll do the same for mine. I then nipped to my plot and dug up the remaining parsnips , about 8 of them and pulled up 6 leeks then went home for a bath and rest and a well earn't cuppa

Sowed 20 summer savoy cabbage (Samantha), 4 Asturian tree cabbage, 3 tomato varieties(10 of each), and 10 sweet pepper(Californian Wonder).
We only have 16 plots but apart from me the place was deserted. I sometimes wonder if the others are waiting for the veg plants to appear in the garden centres before they make a start.

This afternoon I built a compost bin out of pallets and put some manure in it.
I also moved 8 large pallets as they were squashing my Daffodils.
My sister came down and admired my newly dug and weeded bed, and asked if she could have a little patch on my plot.

Spent a good few hours down there today

Moved the shed to our plot within 15 mins  

Weeded a few beds

Put more muck on the pumpkin patch

Weeded the strawberry bed

and dug over a little bit more of the plot, only a few more beds to go now. Also turned over the compost bin and put a couple of loads of muck in there.

Time for a cuppa and some biscuit's me thinks  :happy:
Next job will be to get the greenhouse fixed up. Put a few new panes in there and clean it with jeys fluid and then stick a sulphur candle in there.

Also got told i can get pallets for free from grave stone makers (dont know if there is any technical name for them). Our local one gives them away free because he gets the granit in on them. He said he'd be happy to get rid of them so im going to get down there and make a few more compost bins

Stonemasons I believe.

There we go, knew there was a proper term for it 

[Nige2Plots]

Had a good four hours on the plots.
On Plot6b,
Finished digging over and prepared the ground where the Brassica's are going this year. Basically I just raked level where I had winter dug and to be honest I got a nice tilth as the clods broke up so easily but the soil below was firm( Perfect )
In the Greenhouse I sowed some leeks, Cabbage, Red Cabbage and Salsify and watered down the manure I had applied to the beds in early winter and turned it in. A sign of warmer weather, the automatic vents opened the windows.
Plot 20,
Finished digging over and prepared some seed beds.

I sold two bags of Compost from the container too!!!!!!!!

Sunday afternoon and only one other person about   :happy:... yesterday morning it was packed apparently.

Having not been for ages I was surprised how time seemed to slow down while I was there! I got so much done, feel very pleasantly tired and warm.

A great break. 

[sachkrimbo]

Helped by a very diligent 5 year old to sow peppers, sweetcorn and courgettes into modules.  Then retreated to have  a cup of tea due to rainfall :-(

I too managed to get a good session down on the plot this afternoon, it was deserted, and gloriously sunny! YAY!
My strawberry bed now looks good enough to eat, it is well dug, weed free, slug peletted and fed, and slightly extended. I also had a good general tidy up, swept the shed (?!) and tidy some pots that have been waiting for me to do something with them! Oh and i hoed, rather gingerly, between my onions and my raspberries.

[JamPan]

Built and filled a couple of raised beds which will be used later for salad leaves and carrots respectively.
Harvested the last of the brussels sprouts and composted the plants, dug over the bed.

It was a beautiful day and the plot holders were out in droves
