Went to plot yesterday raked some BFnB in some of the beds, then started to tidy up strawberry patch and then the heavens opened. Sheltered in greenhouse for a bit then gave up.
Today has also been abandoned due to bad weather 

[Springlands]

Trimmed back a hydrangea which was blocking the path to out front door - probably wrong time of year but saves walking on the grass to get round it. Ground far too wet to do any preparation veggie growing.

put up a mini greenhouse (pole and pastic thing from poundstretcher) in the conservatory (protection from our cats) hoping to plant some broad beans later if it ever stops raining long enough to go outside and fill some pots with compost.

Well, went out to finish off levelling greenhouse when it started raining, decided to bite the bullet and stay out,  got soaked and came in 2 hours soaking wet and covered in mud, but loved it

[Chrysalis]

We too, are clearing a spot in the rain for the greenhouse.  Very slippery, but fun.   
Today, I put in 5 first earlies (Rocket) in a potato planter and sowed early nantes carrots in a veg. planter, re-sowed broad beans after losing a few to frosts last week and remembered to cover up well with fleece!  Fingers crossed...

Greenhouse for me today due to the rain, filled 50 toilet tubes with compost and sowed them with parsnips. also sown 70 broad beans in 3 inch pots, and finally onions at home to sit on the window sill till they germinate.

I took the head of my old garden fork up to the farm to see if they could cut out the bolts which still remained in the shaft. The farmer asked if I had the new handle so I nipped down for that and within half an hour it was delivered all fixed.  Brilliant, how's that for lovely neighbours!

So then I was out in the sun and managed to dig one trench for the potatoes. Maybe tackle one per day, albeit with a lot of knee crunching

finally got out and filled seed trays with compost, planted a few seeds, just one tray each of broad beans, aubergines, and a few varieties of tomato. all now greenhoused on the conservatory.

Lovely day, finished greenhouse, made a gate, levelled the path

[mrsparkle]

What a great day!  I made a flask of tea to take with me to the allotment and it was so warm out I didn't want to drink it!

Today I did some more prep on my asparagus bed.  Cleared some space to finish planting my hedge and began turning the brassica patch.

[mumofstig]

I dug up the last of the manky swede and cabbage and forked some of the bed over.
Turned the loose compost into the dalek.
Then home for some sowing in the greenhouse

Lovely day

[Gravedigger]

Beautiful day!  Moved rest of wood for the raised beds into new plot.

Dug out about 1/8 of the reeds.

Started digging land drain

Enjoyed the sun

Hows this for recycling My daughter was throwing this chipboard book stand away so I thought I have a temporary use for that.  





Now carrots are an option  

What can I plant before the carrots go in?

Cheers Bill

Sowed first lot of broad beans into the ground.

Sowed leek seeds in the seed bed.

Picked the last of the sprouts and parsnips.

Fixed my Christmas-present Bayliss auto vent-opener to the greenhouse.

Tip: don't do what I did having misread the instructions and install it when the temperature is about at the temperature you want it to open; even fully backed off it was trying to open as I struggled with the clamps (finished up balancing it on my head as I wrestled it into the right position!)

Planted Mikor and Golden Globe shallots and netted them just so I can smirk at the blackbirds trying to get in and pull them out!  That's it outdoors until the onions from seed go in in about 3 week's time

Noticed that the donated supermarket garlic planted 2 weeks ago was starting to sprout, as are last year's remaining parsnips which are obviously going to have to come out very shortly!

The sort of day when I get a teeny-weeny bit excited!
