planted the first things we have grown from seed in the greenhouse, courgettes and pumpkins, we dug them a lovely bed and put them in - hoping the wind does kill them!

That's sad -  what did they do wrong  :(............. :D

All I did today was carry watering cans  ::)

A kind friend brought me some runner bean plants but didn't dare plant them until these gales have abated.  ???

Haven't been on allotment for few days but yesterday in my back garden planted out 8 cucumbers, put an old greenhouse frame on top of them to let them climb later ( if they're climbing >.< ) , covered with bottle tops. They seem to feel OK but I'm worried about my aubergines, we have such a horrible wind. I tied them to a cans  but leaves are flying around like mad.

Hope it wasn't too bad!

Weeded ( that seems to be all I write recently - the weeds don't mind the dry weather!)

Did then add a pop hole to the outside of the hen run to extend into an electric fence area for when we are here but not outside.

Harvested a catch crop of turnips.  constructed runner bean frame and planted out (polestas and white lady)  Planted out courgettes, some more lettuce and leeks.  Sorted out the green house tomatoes.  Now have little pea sized tomatoes.  Thats exciting.  Had a bottle of home made ginger flavoured cider to celebrate

Watered weeded and planted three sweet potato plants through black plastic and under a poly tunnel hoping that they flourish
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

Watered, hoed,  planted some bargain lettuces I found in the reduced aisle at homebase :-), planted out a courgette - though the wind got the stem and it split so am not hopeful :-(

Discovered the black army on the broad beans, but not on the tops, all amongst the flowers. A quick spray should do the trick.
I`m left handed, what`s your excuse?
