Gale Forecast - batten down the hatches...
« on: June 06, 2012, 22:55 »
Looks like its going to be a bit draughty for the next couple of days.  What with the soil now being sodden and soft so the roots wont hold well.  I have just got back from the lotty working in the dark putting stakes and string round my broad beans, and guy ropes on my pea and bean wigwams.  Hope I was working on the right plot.....

There's always something to worry about, isn't there? ::)

Sometimes my plants grow despite, not because of, what I do to them.

Gust up to 70mph forecast today, particularly for the south west.

Check out those nets, cloches and stakes, and don't leave your greenhouse door wide open, especially if it faces into the wind!
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Our door is broken so I shall have to come up with a solution -- it is a zip one so might be a bit difficult :unsure:

I am not looking forward to this weekend, I am moving peas runners and french beans into my shed for protection as I was hardening them off this week >:(

I am building a timber wall to protect my Sweetcorn which i transplanted earlier this week :mad:

Our weather is weird, does anyone still call it global warming  :D :D :D :D

No, it's long since been decided to call it "climate change"!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
