Very busy day for both of us we started at 9-40 this morn, came in at 3-50, me 4-40 hubby, had lots of cups of tea, while we worked , we got such a lot done today now we are both knackered. Lovely sunny day though fo it.

Planted a few cinneraria to give a touch of silver alongside the blue in part of the garden; then spent a couple of hours at the allotment planting two 20ft rows of 2nd earlies (Charlotte) and doing some general tidying and watering. Lots of activity down there today.

Yesterday I sowed forty odd sweetcorn indoors and went to the lottie and sowed the nips, today I spread some council compost on my fruit bushes and watered, then cultivated the ground ready to sow my brassica's when I come back from my hols. ;D ;D ;D

Got the strimmer going- really pleased with myself as I mixed the fuel and got it going pretty quickly, just a shame I ran out of line before I'd done half of what I wanted to do. >:(

Then pulled up the sprout stems with the intention of turning the soil over and getting some more spuds in- instead spent a couple of hours digging out yet more couch, bindweed and buttercup. The spids will have to wait now.

Not the most satisfying morning!

Worth it in the long run though Caroline...
Just put three Kilo of Desiree in, two rows... ;D

cornykev · « **Reply #2133 on:** April 06, 2009, 20:31:17 »

Went back to the lottie at 6.30 to give it a good watering. ;D ;D ;D

It's actually trying to rain here... :)

waddled up and cleared most of the rest of the fruit bed, wouldve finished it but spotted someone lovely who has offered to spray the plot, and it was a big blob of couch id left n was struggling, so went n paid him n booked him :) die couch die!!!
also cleared the old potato bed of a few weeds and popped sticks round the stuff not to be killed, after its all been sprayed im measuring it for a nice black plastic coat to properly kill the couch and save my back since heavy digging when expecting is a no no, just have to hope that keeps the council off my back as i am working all be it slowly, weve all been ill over the past 3months so its nice to get back down there, even if it is with the council nipping at my heels, grrr!!!

Down the lotty at 0830 this morning, carrots up, onions up YIPPEE!!, constructed another raised bed, planted and covered with debris netting 36 collies, planted two rows of main crop spuds and came home at 1115 and now its raining, :)
