Went up this afternoon, with all good intentions. The plots where saturated, so I swam two lengths and went home! Emptied the compost caddy actually.

much the same as us Nige - would return to the Swamp tomorrow, but have the dreaded lurgy, so will stay indoors  :(
Fed-up  :(
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

It is frustrating Plum :( Winter jobs to do on the plots and it's to wet to do anything!

Had a quick look between showers/deluges and the soil in my new beds have settled 2in with the amount of rain we've had :ohmy:.....I guess they will need digging again, when the weather finally improves  :blink:

Nothing, it's pouring with rain here and it's forecast to be on for most of the day.  :(

Too wet from all the rain this week & far too windy today.I'll go tomorrow & have a look all being well. Last week I tidied 1 of the sheds 7 moved 3 daleks(compost bins) too make room for some manure to be dropped off via quiet Dave. Today I've been in my shed at home & sown 17 kelsae onions, some red & white onions seeds & a 1st for me some banana shallot seeds. I got them all half price at wyevale 2 weeks ago.

Well havent been on here in yonks so first of all   Happy New Year Everyone

Down at the plot today iv dug up the last of the sprouts and cabbage, drank some tea, dug half a plot, then noticed how unfit I realy was, dug some more and then retreated to the warm clutch of the indoors. It may be wet and windy but lets look on the bright side, it was 13 degrees today, summers on its way already  :D

Planted 15m of my new hawthorn hedge yesterday and only have 12m to go, though the 12m still need clearing and weeding.

Sowed the following seeds on my windowsill this weekend:

Cauliflower (all year round)
Tomatoes (several varieties)
Chillies (more in hope than expectation)
Leeks

Haven't yet made the cold frames to transport these to when they outgrow their seed trays.
I'm ahead in one sense and well behind in :)

I also drew up by sowing chart and have began to roughly sketch where things will be growing on my plot this year.

Upturned the frame of the greenhouse that I started erecting last week, un-bent a couple of members, then set back in position. Framed all the twin-wall. Hopefully no more heavy winds until next Friday when I'll be setting a 6x2 frame down for it to sit properly on.

As others... spent a good amount of time doing the back-stroke up and down the plot (almost lost a welly!)
