Put in some more runner bean plants, watered of course, and swore at the birds for taking every single one of my black currents, that will teach me to peg the netting down properly.

finished the weeding on one half plot.

Just back from the plot.

Planted out Peas, Runer Beans, Tomatoes, Basil & a few left over sweet peas.
What I believe to be Blackcurrant bushes are looking ready for their first pick of the year!

Closed the greenhouse door where the tomatos are planted and admired my brassicas

[bigginge]

Planted courgettes and pumpkins, and a dozen globe artichokes. Watered, then my wife came from work and we had dinner - cheese and tomato quiche, potatoes and salad, with a bottle of Rioja. Then number 2 son, wife and grandson came down for a while. Lovely evening.

Planted out some sturdy tomato plants that sprouted where I had my tomatoes last year.  I'm not sure what the fruit is going to be like, but the plants are much less weedy than the ones from the cold frame and it seems a shame to waste them so I'll give them a go.

Otherwise, lots of watering and weeding, and a sneaky dose of miracle-gro all round.  It has been quite windy here today and the soil is drying out fast.

not been up in 48 hours until just now, been too busy baking for bff's 40th tomorrow. Went down to find 2.5lbs of strawberries ripe for picking  and the weeds in the path have gone nuts... now wondering what on earth possessed me to buy strawberries at the supermarket today for my individual pavlova's ?!?!?!

Just in from work, after a 14 hour shift, and managed to place new black composter in garden.  It's massive!!

took my kids up the plot to pick the strawberries ive had in a fruit cage, some thieving person beat my kids to it and took the lot , this was not birds.

[snowdrops]

That's dreadful :ohmy:Do you often get things taken? Is it other plot holders or can other thieves get in?

The only time ive herd of anything being pinched was a pot of money from the locked shed that some of us paid into for a bulk delivery of soil conditioner, nobody knows who done it but it was a plot holder, if theives want to get in for something they will, but why the strawberries? my kids were so dissapointed, there were 3 good courgettes right next to the cage.

sorry to hear that richie where are you BTW.?

i weeded/watered and planted some sprouts in their cage.  at home i watered and harvested some strawberries, banched some peas from the lottie and have spent the last hour keeping two hedgehogs from killing each other on the patio ...they even have separate feeding bowls now but they still fight like cat and dog!

Why the strawberries? Just go to you local supermarket and compare price for strawberry and courgettes 

Sunny day today, so will be back after sunset

Went blood doning for the 20th time and......fainted!

Nurses calmly said, "We've had quite a bit of that today because it's so hot and stuffy in here."

Anyway, was under strict orders not to do anything physical for the rest of the day, so settled for picking some strawberries to aid my recovery  and noticing a whole load of mystery radishes growing on the mounds where my potatoes are. I didn't plant them but they seem to be doing well so, bonus! 

[potatogrower]

hi operaBunny,

it is quite sunny and stuffy out there. Guess in this weather we need to wear a lot of whites to stay cool and hats. hope you recover well 

did a lot of watering.

spinach has bolted which is no surprise. bit pee'd off really but i'll let them grow on and reap what i can.

pea's producing lots of flowers, cabbage doing well, brocolli is bit slow to grow but i was late sowing them
