About 2 or 3 weeks ago, I planted asparagus crowns, and yesterday I was GOBSMACKED to find little spindly asparagus spears growing though.

I was like a proud mommy, and took a picture of them on my phone.  Best day ever....

transplanted my toms into their final position in the big greenhouse, sowed another batch of spinach and watered everything. Again!

Oh that's so sad ... you'd never catch me doing anything like that.

Fitted a new tap to side of Potting shed to make watering easier. transplanted 48 beetroot plants. general water up. erected 2 wigwams out of 8 ft canes for runner beans and some wax climbing beans I,m growing for the 1st time. Planted out 60 gladioli.

other half has (finally) finished the fruit cage (well Strawberry Cage really) even put some extra batons up for me to attach my milk carton strawberries too! Unfortunately batons not strong enough to nail to, so had to improvise and attach the milk cartons with s hooks, but all looking good and now have 70+ plants in a not very big space.. can't wait til harvest time

Yesterday, as I had a whole 2 hours to myself, I watered seed beds and newly transplanted plants, earthed up the spuds again (I do love foxes!) and then covered them with grass mowings.

[hawnet]

Planted Camomile, put more radish seeds in again as the 1st 2 lots have bolted due to heat, put netting over green house for a bit of shade, put up mesh for peas to climb up, watered everything else. Going back later to cut some chard and spinach to have with evening meal.

ITS SO DRY DOWN HERE IN ESSEX 

[dig4victory]

Sowed some more broad beans
Sowed ruby red sunflowers
Sowed dwarf french beans
Weeded between my spinach & chard sprouts, sprinkled a few of those organic slug pellets before they get munched
Planted tom plants into polytunnel

[digalotty]

base done and shed up just in time as the thunder is starting , mind you we could do with a good downpour,   just need to renew the broken window and im sorted also might have a greenhouse fingers crossed

[ferreter51]

Spent ages watering the plots.  Just as I was winding up the hose - THUNDER, RAIN!!
It might have been worse, I might have been fishing and a carbon-fibre rod is not something to be holding in a thunderstorm.  It reminded me of Lee Trevino, the golfer who said that the way to cope with a thunderstorm when out on the course was to walk along holding a 1-iron above the head, because not even God can hit a 1-iron.   Now sitting and watching the rain fall.  It isn't much, but it is encouraging, may there be a lot more to come.

Tomorrow I turn 60 and I am doing absolutely nothing after walking the dog, seeing to the ferrets and watering the greenhouse.  I shall sit outside if it's hot and inside if it's raining and I'll lift nothing heavier than a glass of something and do nothing more strenuous than getting up out of my chair to fetch another bottle.

May all your flowers, fruit and veg be getting some natural water soon.
