First my garden- cut the grass, dug out some weeds, potted lilies into a bigger pot, planted out someplants from my coldrame to make room for more, watered pots that were really parched, sowed some cynara and a few squash. Then down to the allotment- planted out cabbages, calabrese and sprouts. Came back for tea then took OH down with me to help net them and dig out some dandelions (his pet hate).

Potted up some Golden Sunrise and Gardeners Delight tomatoes, planted out some leeks, observed m ore early potatoes and carrots coming through, licked my lips about the prospect of a bumper fruit harvest (except for my sad and sickly pear tree), drank too much tea, tried out one of the new allotment loos, picked some heads off dandelions (a losing battle) and chatted with my lovely (actress) allotment neighbour.

Monday night I potted on some tomatos, Black Krim, Gardeners Delight, Alicante and San Marzano and sowed some more lettuces, parsley, assorted cabbages, rocket, oregano, celery and something else I can't remember ::) Tuesday morning I managed to get on the plot before work and get in a row of broadbeans that I'd started in pots at home a couple of weeks ago, a feww garlic plants that were in a pot outside my greenhouse and a row of assorted peas.....

Had a great day here in Brum. Tony put up the structure for the squash to climb up. I strawed the paths around the crops so they don't get compacted. Did some weeding and got home at 7pm.

re planted the begonias corms in my new bed outside the front door intermingled them between the rocks as there a cascading type in many different colurs so will see what they do free so not complaining if they dont come to much

Had a weeding session surprising how the weeds come through after not touching it for five days, planted more beetroot, marrow seeds and banked up mi spuds, :)

Hector · « **Reply #2297 on:** April 29, 2009, 19:41:11 »

After work spread well rotted manure on bit we cleared/dug.

Lay on ground with a camera to take a picture of bee living in tunnel for Richard...after 25 minutes got up as no bee and horse-people in field behind us giving me strange looks

Planted up garlic

Planted up some more artichoke (experiment from B7Q as they look smooth like Fuseau except they are red.)

Weeded borders. ( Bittercress is a pain)

manicscousers · « **Reply #2298 on:** April 29, 2009, 19:45:27 »

planted more toms, peppers, basil and parsley in the tunnel, everything's looking good :)

pippy · « **Reply #2299 on:** April 29, 2009, 19:48:39 »

Planted out, limed and netted my brassicas (Cauli, broccoli and Brussels). Weeded the strawberries and sowed some leek seed. Dug out a few of the dreaded dandelions then ran out of time - hoping the rest don't go to seed before I can get them out later in the week!

;D ;D Hector - folks have been arrested for less!!
