Been & dug up 2 Kelsae onions for heaviest onion in the local show ( 1 weighed 3lbs) & 1 long runner bean.Took them to the show,I've lost the longest runner bean class already as I put it next to one that was at least 6 " bigger but  egged on by my sister & my plot neighbour I went back to the plot & got 2 more onions to add to the 1 left behind at home for the 3 onions as grown class. Also entered a sock monkey into the any other craft item. :happy:

Re-attached the shed door and informed the local police of the the items that had been stolen >:(
OMG! Really s to hear about that.  :(. I hope the blighters didn't get away with too much.   :tongue2:

Our local police came to mark tools (especially power tools) with our post code in ultra violet and gave us stickers to display on our sheds. It helped, I hope.

FInished weeding the tunnel, took out the rotting broccoli  :tongue2:, sowed some Chinese stem broccoli in it's place, weeded the rest of the brassica cage, weeded the bean/sweetcorn/squash bed. Fed and watered everything - then cooked chilli with home grown goodness!  8)

Cut back the squash plants, harvested the last of the red epicure broad beans, took out the old rocket, and dug over the bed.

Removed 11 buckets of stones from it (Only 2m.4m by 1.2m  :ohmy: :ohmy: )

Picked loads of raspberries and just over a kilo of blackberries form the hedgerow  :D :D

Strimmed, took down alderman peas to make room for PSB plants, squashed loads of catapillers, watered and weeded chinese radish seedlings, stood on a row of salad radish just coming through while weeding carrots. Swore alot  :mad:. Picked beans and ate raspberries.

No plot visit for me today... nice day weather wise though. I have just 50 minutes free and would never make it there and back. I so wanted to do a spot of watering and weeding and relaxing too.  :mellow:

Pulled all the onions this evening, got enough to see us through till the new year   :lol:

Had a good walk around the plot and a little chat to fellow plot holders and headed off home  :)

Started planning what's going to be planted next year and how were going to shape the plot up  :)

Planted PSB where the peas were, dug up a pink fir apple potato plant and got 4 lb 2oz of spuds - fantastic! Weeded, watered and covered newly germinated Autumn King carrots with fleece. Planted chard seedlings where potato was. Gave the key to my friend who will look after my plot for the next 4 weeks while I'm in France. It'll be fine I'm sure *gulp*  :unsure:

Went down and checked the "girls" were still flying.  Continued building the new fruit cage till I ran out of wood...........Louise and I picked all the french beans that were left.  Then I dumped the rubbish, hoed the areas on my plot that are bare soil to keep the weeds down.  Also hoed over part of the half plot next to me coz the lady who rents it's husband has had a stroke and she is up to her eyeballs with looking after him.  Picked more tomatos from the polytunnel, made sure everythingin the tunnel was watered and checked over the Pepper plants we have growing there as well.
No, that carrot is a worm mum.................

Been & dug up 2 Kelsae onions for heaviest onion in the local show ( 1 weighed 3lbs) & 1 long runner bean.Took them to the show,I've lost the longest runner bean class already as I put it next to one that was at least 6 " bigger but  egged on by my sister & my plot neighbour I went back to the plot & got 2 more onions to add to the 1 left behind at home for the 3 onions as grown class. Also entered a sock monkey into the any other craft item. :happy:
I got 2nd prize for the  3 onions as grown class,then won coffee & biscuits in the raffle & then won the lottery albeit £10 it was very welcome & all on my birthday. So a very good Saturday for me. Hopefully time to garden this week now my sister has gone home.

Picked more salad for work, finished securing the thick grating over the shed windows with one way screws.

Once I have practised with my new mattock at home, that will be coming down the plot with me to get up some tree roots that have claimed two forks already.
