I'd not done any weeding for ages so spent 4 hours weeding, clearing up dead pea plants etc.

Picked some beans and carrots, grazed a few strawberries and raspberries.

Dug up a load of black thorn roots with my new mattock. Got a lot done, but I feel broken...

Finished laying the roofing felt on the pathways.
Picked enough french beans to feed a family of four (and they did, later on) and pulled up a beetroot.  Going to get three more tomorrow I think and pickle them.

On holiday, so I had the rare pleasure this morning of going down and opening up the greenhouse and admire the plots on the site.

Popped down yesterday and took off some mildewed leaves on the pumpkin. 

Had to pick of a few rotting baby butternut squashes.....how do I stop them rotting away?

Got a big tub of woodstain to paint the shed with....now to find the motivation.

rain had washed away last weeks sowing, so did them all again, but most in modules this time!
Tis evening I noticed that the tub of PFA spuds had died back so i just tipped them out...1.42 kg of lovely spuds, some a little on the small size, but welcome just the same :)

Picking a carrier bag full of runner beans every other day at the moment. Friends and family are reaping the benefit. I had warmed up runners for breakfast and more with the home made curry tonight. :)

     

     

Picked more purple sprouting and green calabrese, the real success story for this year, none of it netted, and actually found and destroyed the first caterpillar for the year.

I do not have room for a compost heap, so a hole was dug to bury a load of spent sprouting and lettuce plants that had been cut off a few days ago and allowed to wilt.
I`m left handed, what`s your excuse?

Walked up, marvelled at the neatness from Mondays work. Stroked a plant then left.  ;)

Full day tomorrow.

Some pics from the other week of what me and my mate are doing on our patch of the planet.  8)

Sorry, like quite a few members I don't do facebook so can't see the pictures.   Best to post them in another way. ;)
