Only 12 days until we get our brand new plot. 

[Rangerkris]

Oh i did lots of digging over yesterday after it being covered for the winter its was a dream to dig over a few patch's that i could not get covered we a little harder but still not as bad as when i first got the plot. Might try some carrot seed today on the plot but i might have to cover with plastic until i get some enviro-mesh. We got our AGM next Monday evening.

Ill be going out soon to make a start, will be sowing some more lettuce and some others hopefully, maybe even some tomatoes, and my early onward peas in the pices of ground ive been warming up.

[digalotty]

happily sowing seeds today in greenhouse ready      started off with toamato's yesterday and will do some more today allong with anything else i have that will go in there.

i am toying with planting in some spuds as they will be in deep and wont make a show for a couple of weeks

[potatogrower]

sowed peas in a tray on friday, today will do 1st batch of 4 sweet corn seeds

[Gravedigger]

(yesterday) Planted the onion, red onion and shallot sets.  Sowed carrots, leek and Parsnip in paper pots.  OH carried on making raised beds and digging.

Seems like we're behind a lot of people but we are still getting regular frosts so I guess we'll catch up when the weather does. Still have lots and lots of seeds to plant - and ordered more from trueseeds yesterday.

Well, there was me thinking I didn't have much to do at the moment. Managed to find enough to give me backache!

I tried growing some spuds in an old bathtub last year but they didn't seem to do very well so I never tried to harvest any. Today I dug through it to weed and get it ready for growing some peas and beans in this year and found a good few pounds of nice sized spuds.

Plus I did battle with the day lilies that refuse to be evicted from next to my front steps. The carrier bag full of rhizomes have caused a frenzy on freecycle.

And I just can't resist sowing some seeds so I made a decent sized paper pot and put a few mangetout seeds in it, ready to go out in a big pot next to the front door. For now they have moved into a gap on the windowsill that was crying out for something.

Now I'm probably going to have a little nap.

Not the allotment but my indoor greenhouse.
I decided that my broad beans that i'd grown were too leggy and were better off in the bin
I've planted some more seeds and hope to have more success this time round.
I've done: Plum and Cherry tomatoes, Detroit Crimson Beetroot, Di Nizza and Patty Pan Squashes,  Carrots, Purple Podded peas, Giant Broadbeans, Dwarf french Beans and 1 cucumber plant.

Started at 8, came home for an hour to wave the OH off then straight back round, might have another stint after ive eaten. So far, digging and weeding, weeding and digging, do you see a pattern here? All around me the nice weather had brought everyone onto their plots and they're busy rotovating whilst old slothful here plods on slowly feeling a geet nump.

Did manage to get a good amount done apart from the digging: composted, turned the muck heap, planted 100 Stuttgart onions and some more garlic and got 3 new fence posts cemented in in prep for getting the fence back up. After all this exertion and weight loss i think i'll treat mesel' to a ruby tonight.

[digalotty]

started some more toms and spring cabbage coulliflower and lettuce off today  planted 2 rows of spuds as i have plenty more to do , and dug em in deep and put in some radish and salad leaf

[Thrift]

Planted another row of potatoes, some carrots, leeks and parsnips. I'm a little earlier than I would like but wanted to get something in before the knee job. Big protest from the knees after that! 

[gardgydja]

Pruned fruit trees, clipped blackberry vines, cleared up a lot of rubbish, dug over two beds, made a new compost heap, and burnt my face to a crisp in the first real spring sunshine of the year.

Too cold to plant or sow anything yet, -1°c- -3°c nights still in these parts.

[Rangerkris]

Today i put up a post and heavy string fence, help my dad on the plot next door to fix some bits on his shed then we cut some plastic sheeting to go inside his shed as its a got lots of air circulation gaps  .  I managed to sow some carrots and cover with plastic sheeting and pipe hoops had a sort out  of the stuff that builds up beside the shed all in all a good day i think's.  Bring it on i ready and waiting to go this season.

Oh and this was about 4 plots away the other side of the fence there was a total of 5 fire engines and 4 police cars in attendance.

[WhiteWolf]

Today we hoed, weeded and raked two 12 x 57' strips.

We haven't dug these as we have been talking to the previous owner who told us he had turned it all over in the winter so we are going to take a chance this year.

Set the second earlies and mains to chit
sowed in the greenhouse
