What did you do in the garden today?

[Le-y]

Re-potted lily bulbs, been tinkering in the greenhouse and watching plants grow..1 pea has germinated! ..been doing log edging rolls  ..a job that I wish I never volunteered to do..(shop ones weren't right kind )
and after that I had barbeque  ..for job well done..

That's got to be the first BBQ of the year goodlife, well done!

well today i planted some more cucumbers and some more lettuce.

My son eats cucumbers like they are chocolate (and strangely doesnt like chocolate) so i definately have to grow a few this year!

also replanted my other cucumbers and made a make shift cloche for them out of a cake keeper (i forget what the actual name is).

oh and i sorted out my wine bottle which i use for watering the indoor plants

Lovely day on the plot today.
Planted my shallots, some garlic and 2 rows of sturon.
Managed to dig over my pumpkin bed, cleaned the chicken coop and have started giving vacant plots to people on the waiting list .

            Rotovating session after work this afternoon,

[manicscousers]

planted (and covered) some spuds, sowed carrots early nantes, radish ostergruss? sp.  radish sparkler, white carrots someone gave me from france, silverskin onions in bunches and white lisbon spring onions..transplanted lots of bacopa plug plants for the plant sale , transplanted some self seeded limnanthes and poppies

[Robert_Brenchley]

Planted a bed of onion sets, and found a bag thrown into the stream at the back which was full of music books. Turned out to belong to the local school. Apparently it was stolen from the music department yesterday and they were really worried about it.

[Digeroo]

Planted some carrots and onions and some peas.  Thought about potatoes.  Could not find any bare bums.    Everything is a bit dry.  Soil starting to set like concrete.

Let out a few peas from their cloches, hope the rabbits stay away

[Wilder]

put in some Garlic Arno, some Stuttgarter sets, sowed Sugarsnax carrots (the sweetest I ever tasted) and put my parsnip seed into the Root Run I made from a friend's unwanted box

Yesterday I planted peas

[manicscousers]

forgot about the kohl rabi, turnips and 3 types of beetroot 

[Mr Smith]

Went to the lotty after work for another rotovating session and the muck is working in very nicely so can't wait to get the onions sets in followed by  broad beans , plants in the cold-frame coming on a treat,

[cornykev]

Planted another line of Rockets
Watered the shallots
 

[shirlton]

Spent a few hours up at the plot today. I got the cover off the onions and gave them a good weed. I hate the way the soil gets a scummy layer on after the winter around the onions. Got the cover back on as quickly as possible just in case the onion fly decided to get out early( you never know)
Did a bit more work on the strawberry beds. Tony made some arches up for the sweet peas. Afraid they are going in a bit later this year. Its supposed to be raining for the next few days so wont be able to get up there. Its so grand to be going to the plot again.

[Froglegs]

I feel the same way Shirl nice to get back to the plot,yesterday i planted a bed of each Sturon and Jet set onions,dug up 3 black currant bushers that had been there donkeys years before i had the plot,then shoveled some sh*te to put on me Asparagus bed. But best of all coming home at 6 and the wife telling me this is a funny 5 o'clock it's a good job teas not ruined now i know I'm on the mend.

[electric landlady]

Still nothing, waaah 

But at least the weather's not as nice today. Stayed at home and sowed sweet peas and tended to my baby brassica seedlings, and noticed I have some tiny tomato seedlings as well 

Definitely going to go to the lottie at the weekend though. Even if I can't do anything I can get the OH to pull up some leeks while I watch 

[Mortality]

Moved 8 peas, a couple of tomato plants and 4 Basil plants outside to the mini greenhouse, then ran in from the rain. Hopefully the rain will get everything properly growing now. 

[cornykev]

Finnished off my 3rd line of Rockets. 

[Robert_Brenchley]

Mulched the onion sets I put in yesterday. One more bed to go, and they'll need fleecing to keep the onion fly at bay.

[Paulines7]

I dug over about a fifth of a large plot and pulled out nettle and other roots.  The problem is that, against my wishes, my husband sprayed it with Roundup last summer.  The nettle roots are not so strong now but I am wondering whether I should plant the plot with potatoes or leave it fallow for another year.   

[Robert_Brenchley]

Spuds will be fine. Nettles are one of the few weeds which can compete, but they grow straight up through the potatoes and don't really affect them. If you've got the big roots out there shouldn't be much of this, and you can easily finish the things off when you lift the crop.

[Froglegs]

Finnished off my 3rd line of Rockets. 

Bloody hell Corny how long a the rows? first lot Will be up before ye get the last lot in 
Nothing down the plot yesterday stayed at home and had a tidy up in me front garden.
